* ArcVillain: Warren Goodfellow, a SOMBRA agent who has been posing as a NGO worker providing help for the disaster-afflicted parts of the region while stealing charity money and giving it to SOMBRA, all while framing the innocent guru [[RedHerring Om Padmasana]] for his misdeeds by painting him as the one behind O.M. [=MediLab=].
* BreatherEpisode: While the previous three regions had much darker and high-stakes plots that involved [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionEuropeRegion mass terrorism]], [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionSaharaRegion assassins and extremist rebels]], and [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionEurasiaRegion world-ending satellites]], South Asia instead focuses on a lighter storyline that deals with helping people in need amidst of a natural disaster for the first half, and investigating a mysterious but silly guru that turns out to be GoodAllAlong for the second half, with the ArcVillain of the region only making itself clear until the final case (whereas you had [[AncientConspiracy the Promethians]], [[ProfessionalKiller the Sword]], and the [[TheMole COSMORUS mole]] on your radar from pretty much the start and until the last case of the arc), making of South Asia a breath of fresh air after all you've been through.

'''South Asia''' is the fourth region investigated in ''VideoGame/CriminalCaseWorldEdition''.

Encompassing the countries of India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, and the Tibet region in China, South Asia, [[HalfwayPlotSwitch at first]], focuses on the Bureau providing as much help as they can regarding a series of disasters that have been afflicting the region ever since an earthquake struck India, including a tsunami and a virus outbreak. Once that's settled, the region shifts its focus towards investigating a mysterious guru that [[AmbiguouslyEvil might or might not be evil]] and his connections to O.M. [=MediLab=], a pharmaceutical company performing unethical and outright illegal activities in the shadows.
