Criminal Justice Season 4: The latest season of Criminal Justice is finally here. Season 4 of the popular crime-thriller series has been released on JioHotstar, bringing back the audience’s favorite character, Madhav Mishra, played by Pankaj Tripathi.
Only the first three episodes are currently available, while the rest will be released weekly. This time, Madhav takes on a new case filled with unexpected twists and psychological suspense. Let’s dive into what this gripping start has to offer.
A New Case with Deep Secrets
Pankaj Tripathi once again shines in the role of Madhav Mishra, the sharp yet humble lawyer known for solving complex cases. Alongside him, actor Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub plays the role of Dr. Raj Nagpal, a troubled man with a dark past and personal struggles.
Raj has a 13-year-old daughter with special needs. His marriage has been falling apart for the past two years, and he is living separately from his wife. Adding to the tension, Raj is in a romantic relationship with a nurse from his hospital—who also happens to be his daughter’s caregiver. This affair is not hidden and is known to those around them.

During his daughter’s birthday celebration, Raj’s girlfriend attends the party. She is shown to be uncomfortable with Raj reconnecting with his family. In a shocking turn of events, she is later found dead in Raj’s arms.
Raj’s wife, upon witnessing the scene, immediately informs the police. The case then lands in the hands of Madhav Mishra, who must untangle the complicated web of truth and lies.
Layers of Mystery and Deception
As Mishra begins investigating, he finds himself caught in a web of half-truths and hidden motives. The deeper he digs, the more confusing the case becomes. Every clue leads to more questions.
Is Raj really guilty, or is he being framed? Could this be the one time Madhav Mishra has taken up a case on the wrong side of justice? These are the questions the upcoming episodes aim to answer.
What Works in Season 4
Only three episodes have been released so far, but they set the stage for a dark and gripping mystery. The atmosphere is intense, and the emotional tension between characters adds depth to the storyline.
Season 1 of Criminal Justice was widely praised for its story and performances. The second and third seasons were considered slightly weaker by viewers. However, Season 4 shows strong potential to rise above the last two installments.
Another interesting point is that Season 4 is not connected to the earlier seasons in terms of storyline. It introduces an entirely new case and characters, making it a fresh start for new viewers as well.
Final Thoughts
As seen in the previous seasons, whenever Madhav Mishra takes up a case, it usually turns out that the accused is not truly guilty. But this time, the line between innocence and guilt is more blurred than ever. There’s a chance that Mishra may be defending someone who actually committed the crime.
The first episode hooks you instantly, and the pace builds up in the following two. While a few scenes feel slightly slow, the overall mystery keeps you invested.
If the remaining episodes continue this momentum, Criminal Justice Season 4 could become the strongest season yet, packed with drama, emotion, and psychological suspense. Viewers will have to wait each week to see how this mind-bending story unfolds.
