No more 'Daya, darwaza tod do'? ACP Pradyuman to exit from CID
ACP Pradyuman's journey in CID is reportedly coming to an end, with the character set to die in an upcoming episode. However, given Indian TV's history, fans are hopeful this might not be a permanent farewell.
Soon, there might be no one left to shout, "Daya, darwaza tod do!" - because our beloved ACP Pradyuman is set to meet his end in CID! According to an India Today report, Shivaji Satam's iconic character will soon bid farewell to the show.
According to India Today, actor Shivaji Satam's character will be killed in an upcoming episode due to a bomb blast orchestrated by Barbossa (played by Tigmanshu Dhulia).
A source revealed to the portal that while the rest of the CID team will survive the attack, ACP Pradyuman will lose his life.
Tigmanshu Dhulia has directed critically acclaimed films like Paan Singh Tomar (2012), which won the National Film Award for Best Feature Film, Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster (2011), and Haasil (2003). As an actor, Dhulia has appeared in films like Gangs of Wasseypur (2012), Zero (2018), and Dabangg 2 (2012).

Dhulia recently returned to CID after six years as the ruthless leader of the Eye Gang, making his comeback even more dramatic.
The episode has already been filmed and is expected to air soon, though the makers are keeping details under wraps to maintain the suspense.
However, given how Indian TV dramas often bring back characters after their "deaths," there's always a possibility of ACP Pradyuman returning, depending on how fans react to this shocking twist.
