It was the year 1998. TV channel Sony was premiering a new Indian police television show unbeknownst to the legacy it was about to create. It was CID. Watching ACP Pradyuman, Sr. Inspector Abhijeet, and Sr. Inspector Daya and their adventures became a habit for an entire generation of audience for 21 long years. CID was the big pop culture breakthrough for Indian TV. Each new investigation brought a sense of all-enveloping mystery as the viewers grew accustomed to watching the crew and their antics almost every day. It's been over five years since the show concluded, but 'Kuch toh gadbad hai, Daya' still manages to invoke a familiar sense of belongingness and opens the memory gate. But why did CID end? Why did the show with a stature as big as that meet an abrupt end? Well, the answer's not all too simple, given it did not die because the show was running out of ideas or the actors did not wish to continue. The actual explanation is a bit more complicated, and as it turns out, the seeds to bring a 'forced' end to the superhit show were sown two years before its final episode aired.
