Search: The Naina Murder Case Ending Explained: Released on JioHotstar on October 10, 2025, ‘Search: The Naina Murder Case’ has quickly become one of the most discussed crime thrillers of the year. Directed by Rohan Sippy, the six-episode series stars Konkona Sen Sharma, Surya Sharma, Shiv Panditt, Shraddha Das, Dhruv Sehgal, and Varun Thakur in key roles.
Based on the acclaimed 2007 Danish series ‘Forbrydelsen’ starring Sofie Gråbøl, the show brings a gripping Indian adaptation set against the backdrop of Navi Mumbai’s political and social tensions.
The story follows ACP Sanyukta Das (Konkona Sen Sharma), a seasoned cop preparing for retirement, when a shocking murder halts her plans. A young college student, Naina Marathe, is found dead in the car of a local youth politician. The incident sparks a high-profile investigation filled with media leaks, political pressure, and personal turmoil.
Alongside her replacement, ACP Jai Kanwal (Surya Sharma), Sanyukta dives deep into a web of deceit, privilege, and buried secrets.

Initially, suspicion falls on Naina’s inner circle, her ex-boyfriend Ojas, her best friend Lavanya, and their mutual friend Aarav. Each of them hides something, but as the investigation progresses, none are directly tied to the murder.
Attention then shifts to Vinayak, an employee of Naina’s father, and Tushar Surve (Shiv Panditt), a tech entrepreneur with links to Naina. The discovery that Naina owned an expensive handbag worth ₹4 lakh, something only someone like Tushar could afford, raises fresh doubts about his involvement.
Adding to the intrigue, Tushar’s alibi collapses when it’s revealed that he lied about his whereabouts on the night of the murder. His publicist even backs up his false statement, deepening the mystery.

Meanwhile, a shocking shootout unfolds when Jai (Surya Sharma) kills Vinayak while trying to protect another officer, Uddhav. Yet, crucial questions remain unanswered: Who was the mole in the department? And who actually killed Naina?
