Taking its cue from the book Ninety Days: The True Story of the Hunt for Rajiv Gandhi’s Assassins by Anirudhya Mitra, The Hunt: The Rajiv Gandhi Assassination Case recounts the large-scale investigation that ensued after the assassination of the former Prime Minister, Rajiv Gandhi, in 1991. Following the suicide bombing at an election rally in Sriperumbudur, which shocks the nation, a Special Investigation Team is set up under the leadership of D.R. Kaarthikeyan to conduct a relentless 90-day chase to identify and apprehend the perpetrators of the crime. The hunt is depicted in detail within the series as investigators struggle against time in dealing with political pressure, intelligence failures, forensic hurdles, and a maze of operators who were part of the conspiracy.
