Guwahati, Assam – Fans across the nation are reeling from the shocking news that Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Pradyuman, the indomitable central figure of the long-running television series CID, is slated to meet a tragic end in forthcoming episodes.
The beloved character, masterfully portrayed by veteran actor Shivaji Satam since the show’s inception, has become synonymous with unwavering leadership and astute crime-solving within investigative units.
Sony Entertainment Television officially confirmed the devastating development through their social media platforms, posting a poignant tribute that read, “End of an era: ACP Pradyuman (1998-2025).” The accompanying message, “In the loving memory of ACP Pradyuman… A loss that will never be forgotten,” has resonated deeply with the show’s massive and dedicated viewership.
According to a reliable source speaking to India Today Digital, the dramatic exit will occur as a result of a bomb planted by the notorious antagonist Barbussa, played by the acclaimed Tigmanshu Dhulia. Barbussa, the ruthless leader of the Eye Gang, recently made a chilling return to the show after a hiatus of over six years, setting the stage for this deadly confrontation with the CID team and ultimately claiming ACP Pradyuman’s life.
The insider further revealed that the pivotal episode has already been filmed and is scheduled to air in the near future. Details surrounding the exact circumstances of the blast and its immediate aftermath are being deliberately kept under wraps by the show’s creators, who intend for this dramatic turn of events to deliver a significant shockwave to the loyal fanbase.
While CID has witnessed the temporary demise and subsequent resurrections of various characters in the past, sources currently indicate that there are no immediate plans to bring ACP Pradyuman back from this fatal incident. However, it has been suggested that the producers will closely monitor audience reactions to this significant plot twist, leaving a potential window open for reconsideration based on viewer feedback.
CID, which was recently revived on Sony TV earlier this year, continues to captivate audiences. The show’s enduring popularity extends to streaming platforms like Netflix, and its legacy has further expanded with the creation of an animated adaptation titled CID Squad – Naye Yug Ka Naya CID, demonstrating the lasting impact of ACP Pradyuman and the entire CID universe on Indian television.
