Scoop, a new Netflix series, revolves around a journalist named Jagruti Pathak who is accused of murder, but is her story based on a real one?
Netflix added the Hindi-language crime drama series Scoop to its streaming library on June 2, 2023, and the story in the television show has some truth behind it. Viewers are first introduced to Jagruti Pathak, a senior crime reporter and the Deputy Bureau Chief of Eastern Age, a fictional newspaper in India. Unfortunately, when a fellow reporter is killed, Jagruti becomes the prime suspect in the crime.
The 6-episode series dives deep into Jagruti's life as a journalist, the accusations against her, and how underground Mumbai is involved in the whole ordeal as she attempts to prove her innocence. The allegations against Jagruti state that she might have used some of her contacts as a crime reporter to kill the other journalist. After watching all six episodes of the television show, the story in Netflix's Scoop might sound familiar to some viewers.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Scoop Is Based On A True Story The basis for Scoop is Jigna Vora's biographical memoir Behind Bars in Byculla: My Days in Pris, so multiple parts of the story in the Netflix series are based on true events. The inspiration for Jagruti's character is Vora since the author was also a crime reporter accused of murdering another journalist, Jyotirmoy Dey, in 2011.
Following Dey's death, the police caught the men who shot him. They were associated with underworld gangster Chhota Rajan, but investigators also thought Vora aided in the murder. The police believed that Vora provided Rajan with Dey's home address and license plate number, and she was also accused of destroying evidence. Vora's alleged motive was a rivalry between her and Dey as journalists.
Scoop does focus on a reporter being accused of a crime she didn't commit, but it also highlights her career as a journalist. So in that way, the show differs from the memoir that it is based on. However, for the most part, Scoop does justice to Vora's story by telling it through the character of Jagruti.
