On April 5, Sony Entertainment Television shared an ‘obituary’ post for ACP Pradyuman, the iconic detective from its hit show CID, a character played by actor Shivaji Satam. With a picture of ACP Pradyuman reading “End of an Era, ACP Pradyuman (1998-2025), #RIPACP”, Sony TV’s post on Instagram had the shocking caption, “In the loving memory of ACP Pradyuman… A loss that will never be forgotten”. The caption also had a heartbreak emoji. It is obvious that with this post, the TV channel confirmed the rumours that the much-loved character of ACP Pradyuman will die an onscreen death. The years 1998-2025 refer to the first appearance of ACP Pradyuman on CID on its first episode dated January 21, 1998, on Sony, until his last appearance on the CID Returns episode on streaming giant Netflix. However, a few hours before Sony TV’s Instagram post on CID, Netflix posted a picture of ACP Pradyuman in his usual detective mode, asking, “Kuch Gadbad Toh Hai?” (Something is wrong)., referring to the detective’s iconic line from the show, “Daya, kuch toh gadbad hai“. The post further asks, “Batao batao” (Tell us), urging viewers to post in the comments.
