's Madhav Mishra inches closer to uncovering the truth behind nurse Roshni Saluja's murder, the internet is already racing to deliver its verdict.
Season 4 has kept audiences gripped with its layered storytelling. Dr. Raj Nagpal stands accused of murdering his girlfriend, nurse Roshni, while his estranged wife Anju and daughter Ira are slowly pulled into the shadows of suspicion. Every episode has introduced a new piece of evidence—from surveillance gaps to a suspicious lactose-free milk bottle—blurring the lines between guilt and innocence.
Episode 7 ended with fresh twists, forcing fans to reconsider everything they thought they knew. And now, Reddit is brimming with bold, elaborate theories. (Beware, spoiler alert ahead!)
The most convincing theory? The 'other doctor' did it
One Reddit user suggests the killer is not Dr. Nagpal, but a fellow physician. According to their theory, this doctor suspected Roshni of poisoning Nagpal's daughter and, out of concern (and a possible college connection with Anju), tried to intervene. A confrontation allegedly turned fatal, with Anju helping cover it up. The motive? Protection. The fallout? A frightened daughter withholding the truth. The twist? She might just testify in the finale.
Is the murder weapon a red herring—or the key?
The scalpel, found late in the season, sparked intense speculation. Why did Anju hire Madhav Mishra? Was it guilt, or was it to protect someone else, like herself? As more viewers dig deeper, some argue the real killer might be Kamala, based on a woman's hand shown in the trailer's slitting scene. Others lean towards lesser-known characters like Roshni's ex-boyfriend, citing suspiciously little screen time.
Slow burn or genius build-up? Fans are split
While some viewers have dismissed the season as slow or underwhelming, others argue that the real issue is its weekly release format. 'It's not boring—it's suspenseful,' one fan defended. 'There are over 30 different plausible theories circulating. That means the show is doing its job: no one knows what's coming.' Still, many agree on one thing—if the final twist involves Anju, Raj, or Ira as the killer, it better be backed by airtight logic. Anything less could risk making the tension-filled build-up feel unearned.
The final hearing
With just one episode to go, Criminal Justice: A Family Matter has managed to do what few shows can—get everyone guessing, debating, and playing armchair detective. As July 3 approaches, one question looms large: Will the writers outsmart the internet?
