The legendary character, portrayed by Shivaji Satam, makes a thrilling reappearance in the latest installment of CID, just weeks after audiences were led to believe he had perished in a deadly blast.

The preview opens with a tense scene where Pradyuman points a firearm at his longtime comrade, Daya (played by Dayanand Shetty). A bewildered Daya attempts to de-escalate the situation, appealing to their years of brotherhood within the force.
However, the seasoned officer appears disconnected from their shared past. In a chilling tone, he questions, “CID? So, you’re with the police? I’ve got old business to finish with them,” before firing a shot, raising the stakes dramatically.
In a separate scene, an emotional Daya informs Inspector Abhijeet (Aditya Srivastava) that their revered leader is still alive.

Netflix posted the clip with the caption, “Iska matlab samjhe Daya? ACP Pradyuman zinda hai. Watch fresh episodes of CID every Saturday and Sunday at 10 p.m., now streaming on Netflix too.”
The announcement sent social media into a frenzy. Viewers flooded the comment section with reactions some expressing joy, others drawing clever parallels.
“The legend is back, CID is whole again!” wrote one fan. Another compared it to Marvel’s universe, joking, “CID is turning into a desi Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., with ACP as our very own Coulson.”
Earlier this year, the series introduced ACP Ayushmann (played by Parth Samthaan) following Pradyuman’s presumed demise in an explosion orchestrated by criminal mastermind Barboza (Tigmanshu Dhulia). Although his death was heavily implied, the actual moment was never depicted, leaving room for speculation.

The reboot now airs new episodes every weekend at 10 p.m. on Netflix, Sony Entertainment Television, and Sony LIV, reigniting fans’ passion for crime-solving mysteries.
