🕵️♂️ Who Was ACP Pradyuman?
Played by veteran actor Shivaji Satam, ACP Pradyuman led the CID team since the show's inception in 1998. Known for his keen sense of justice, calm demeanor, and the unforgettable catchphrase "Kuch to gadbad hai," the character became a household name over two decades.
💥 What Happened in the Episode?
In a dramatic turn of events, ACP Pradyuman was reportedly killed in an explosion during a high-stakes encounter with a criminal named Barboza, portrayed by Tigmanshu Dhulia. Interestingly, the actual moment of his death was not shown on-screen, creating an air of mystery.
Despite this, Sony TV’s official post left little room for doubt, declaring:
“In loving memory of ACP Pradyuman... A loss that will never be forgotten.”
The caption also included a chilling note:
"End of an era. ACP Pradyuman (1998–2025)."
😢 Fan Reactions: Outrage and Heartbreak

"It's not RIP to ACP Pradyuman. It's RIP to CID. And RIP to Sony TV. With this heartless move, you didn’t just end a character, you buried a legacy."
❓ Is This Really the End?
Although Sony TV made the announcement official, many fans refuse to believe it’s the final goodbye. Since the death wasn’t visually confirmed in the episode, speculation is rampant that this may be a storyline twist or temporary exit.
One hopeful fan commented:
“This nonsense... ACP Pradyuman is alive and will return!”
🎙️ What Did Shivaji Satam Say?
