News of ACP Pradyuman’s exit from the show has taken social media by storm, with fans expressing shock and nostalgia ever since word of his departure broke.

Let’s rewind to a memorable episode from around 2015, when viewers were stunned to see ACP Pradyuman declared dead. His lifeless body was shown on screen, leaving fans in disbelief only for the storyline to take a dramatic twist when he made a surprise comeback, revealing it was all part of a brilliant plan.

Long-time viewers may recall the gripping plot where ACP was framed for the death of an innocent person. In a shocking turn of events, Abhijeet appeared to turn against his mentor, even going so far as to shoot him. The episode suggested that ACP was gone for good, fuelling rumours at the time that Shivaji Satam was leaving the series permanently.

However, the final moments of the episode flipped the narrative. ACP Pradyuman reappeared, revealing that the entire incident was a staged operation designed to trap the real culprits. The audience was left both relieved and impressed by the clever twist.

So, as we connect the dots between that iconic episode and the current storyline suggesting his departure, it wouldn’t be far-fetched to expect ACP Pradyuman to return once again this time, with yet another masterstroke that could shake up the show.
