The video began with Abhijeet (Aditya Srivastava) and Daya (Dayanand Shetty) facing each other as they stood in the rain. A voiceover said, “Jo desh ke liye hamesha saath mein lade hai, aaj dushman ban kyun aamne saamne khade hai (Why have those who fought together for the country become sworn enemies now)?”

Daya then tells Abhijeet to shoot him, and he does so twice. ACP Pradyuman (Shivaji Satam) is heard shouting, "Ruk jao (Wait)." The clip ended with Daya falling off a clip and Abhijeet walking away.

The video was shared with the caption, "Kyu barso puraani dosti bhool kar, Abhijeet ne chalayi Daya par goli (Why did Abhijeet forget years old friendship and shoot Daya)? The official release date of CID is yet to be announced.

"A long wait finally comes to an end. Await to watch CID 2.0," said a person. "Abhijeet's memory loss again, I guess," read a comment.

"Can’t wait for the first episode. Excited! What a bone chilling promo! Finally the most awaited show is back with a bang," wrote an Instagram user. "Really excited! Will be hard to watch without officer Freddy though RIP. Other than that, glad to see the CID trinity comeback, really hope Nikhil, Sachin and other officers are also present. Good luck!" said another person.

He added, "It feels surreal to return as ACP Pradyuman after six years, a character that has received so much love and we promise a thrilling ride filled with suspense, and heart-stopping drama!"
