ACP Pradyuman, a beloved character from the popular TV show CID, is set to meet his demise in upcoming episodes after being involved in a bomb blast.
The news was shared by Sony Entertainment Television on their official social media handles, with a post titled "End of an era: ACP Pradyuman (1998-2025)" and a message that read, "In the loving memory of ACP Pradyuman... A loss that will never be forgotten."
According to a credible source, Barbosa (played by Tigmanshu Dhulia) will plant a bomb to take down the CID team, resulting in ACP Pradyuman's death.
The source added that the team recently shot the episode, which will air in a few days, and that the makers want this to be a big shocker for fans.
While the show has previously featured characters dying and returning to life, sources claim that there are no plans to revive ACP Pradyuman.
However, a decision could be made based on fan feedback after the twist airs.
Actor Parth Samthaan is set to make his television comeback with CID 2, taking over as the new ACP after the iconic character ACP Pradyuman is killed off in the show.
Parth will lead the team in solving fresh cases alongside Daya, Abhijeet, and the rest of the team.
Talking about filling the shoes of ACP, Parth said, "Bachpan se humne yeh show dekha hai. Kitni dafa, yeh show playout bhi kiya hai. Yeh ek iconic show hai joh bohot saalon se chala aa raha hai."
He added, "Family ke saath jab discuss kiya toh unko pehle mazak laga. Jab maine unko seriously bataya, they were very proud. It is a big responsibility to fill in such humongous shoes of ACP Pradyuman since main unko replace kar raha hu as ACP Ayushmaan. Naya kirdar hai, nayi story hai. Naye thrill aur suspense ke saath hum iss kahani ko aage badhayenge."
