Delhi Crime starred Shefali Shah in the lead who played the role of the deputy commissioner who led the team investigating the rape case. While accepting the award at a virtual ceremony, director Richie Mehta said, "I dedicate this award to all the women who not just endure the violence that so many men inflict on them, but are then tasked to solve the problem. Finally, to the tireless mother, and her daughter. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about you both and what the world subjected you two to. And I hope none of us ever forget that."
