The clip began with ACP Pradyuman aiming a gun at Daya (Dayanand Shetty), who looked surprised. As Daya realised it was his boss, he tried to make conversation with him, but the ACP warned that he would shoot him. When Daya tried to remind him that they worked together, ACP Pradyuman said in Hindi, "CID? So you are a cop? I've to settle an old score with the police." He then continued shooting at Daya.
In the next clip, an emotional Daya informed Inspector Abhijeet (Aditya Srivastava) that ACP Pradyuman is alive. The video was shared with the caption, "Iska matlab samjhe Daya? ACP Pradyuman zinda hai. Dekhiye CID ke naye episodes har Shanivaar aur Ravivaar raat 10 baje, Netflix par bhi.#CIDonNetflix (Did you understand this Daya? ACP Pradyuman is alive. Watch new episodes of CID every Saturday and Sunday at 10 pm, on Netflix."

Reacting to the post, a fan said, "ACP Pradyuman, the legend is back. Good news." A comment read, "CID, the cult show." A person wrote, "ACP Pradyuman sir is finally back!!!!! Yayyyyyyy." An Instagram user wrote, "CID trying to remake Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in Hindi with ACP as Phil Coulson." "GOAT is back, now CID is CID, without him, it's nothing," commented another fan.
Recently, Parth Samthaan had said that he is replacing ACP Pradyuman in the show. He had joined CID as ACP Ayushmann. In April, quoting a source close to the production house, Times of India had reported, 'ACP Pradyuman is an iconic character and it can never die. Shivaji Satam will be back on the show in a few weeks.'
In an episode aired in April, the CID team tried to capture criminal Barboza (Tigmanshu Dhulia). But he trapped the ACP and seemingly killed him in an explosion. However, the death was not shown on screen. Sony TV had confirmed his death in a social media post.
The iconic TV serial made a comeback earlier this year. CID is streaming on Netflix apart from Sony Entertainment and Sony LIV. The audience can watch new episodes every Saturday and Sunday at 10 pm. CID made a comeback after six years. The hit series CID went off the air in October 2018, wrapping up a successful 20-year run.

Meet actor who once grazed buffaloes, worked with Aamir Khan and Deepika Padukone, and now rules OTT space
Breaking into the film industry, where good looks and sculpted physiques often dominate, is no easy feat. Yet, there are a handful of actors who've defied conventional norms and earned acclaim purely through their acting prowess. From Paresh Rawal to Piyush Mishra, Hindi cinema is home to many such performers who didn't rely on appearance to make their mark but still managed to capture hearts with their craft. Among them is Raghubir Yadav, a versatile actor who has delivered memorable performances alongside legends like Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and other top stars. The actor is currently ruling the OTT space with the popular web series, Panchayat. In the series, Raghubir Yadav, who plays the role of 'Brij Bhushan Dubey', 'Pradhan-Pati', is hailed for his versatility. However, the road to success was not easy for Raghubir as he struggled a lot to earn his name and fame. Let us delve into some unknown aspects of Raghubir's life. Hailing from Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh, Raghubir Yadav is a proud graduate of the National School of Drama. He began his artistic journey in theatre, performing in more than 70 plays and over 2,500 stage shows. Today, he is considered one of the most respected figures in the entertainment world. However, his early life was far from conventional. after failing his 11th-grade exams, Raghubir left home in pursuit of a career in music, embracing a nomadic lifestyle in the process. During his time with the Parsi Theatre Company, Raghubir Yadav lived in makeshift tents. As per a report by Navbharat Times, he once drove bullock carts and grazed buffaloes to make ends meet. There were times he went hungry for days, moving from place to place like a wanderer to continue performing in shows. His perseverance eventually paid off when he landed his breakthrough role in the television series Mungerilal Ke Haseen Sapne in 1994, where he played the titular character. He also later portrayed the iconic lead role in the beloved series Chacha Chaudhary. Yadav made his film debut with Massey Sahib and went on to appear in several acclaimed films such as 1942: A Love Story, Aaja Nachle, Delhi-6, Peepli Live, Gandhi to Hitler, among others. Over the years, he has shared screen space with Bollywood's biggest stars, Shah Rukh Khan in Maya Memsaab, Aamir Khan in Lagaan, Salman Khan in Khamoshi: The Musical, and Deepika Padukone in Piku. Up next, Raghubir will reprise his role in the much-awaited Panchayat Season 4.
