Paper Leak
A gritty Rajasthani crime drama series exposing the integrity crisis of state recruitment scandals.
Inspired by the REET exam leak scandals (2021–2023) that affected hundreds of thousands of aspirants in Rajasthan.
"The challenge was building a narrative that was legally defensible yet honest to the human cost."
To ground the series, I personally travelled to a Rajasthan jail to meet with accused and convicted individuals, ensuring every character was informed by real testimony.
- 140-page original screenplay
