As he delves deeper into the investigation, which has the potential to make him a journalistic sensation, he is pulled into a dangerous web of deceit and hidden agendas. The more he uncovers, the more perilous his situation becomes, forcing him to make choices that challenge his morals, threaten his relationships, and put his life on the line." https://www.instagram.com/p/DF7CE_YCkxf/?hl=en Excited about the project, Saqib said, "From the moment I took on this role, I knew Crime Beat would be an intense and unforgettable journey which would push and test me as an actor.

My character is driven, passionate, super independent and navigates within a world filled with constant moral dilemma. The story highlights the complexities journalists face while uncovering some of society's darkest secrets and the personal cost they pay for the same. I'm thrilled for the world to see what we have made." Sudhir Mishra and Sanjeev Kaul have directed the series, which will be released on ZEE5 starting February 21. (ANI)
