He teased a major shift in the CID RETURNS storyline, saying, “In this edition of the show, the unbreakable bond between Daya and Abhijeet is now fractured. They find themselves on opposite sides, shaking the very foundation of CID. ACP Pradyuman’s world is about to turn upside down. It feels surreal to step into this character again after six years. We promise a thrilling ride full of suspense and heart-stopping drama!”
Originally launched on January 21, 1998, CID became a household name and one of India’s longest-running television shows. Created by B.P.
