Tbh, it was pretty obvious from the beginning that Ayushman is working with or for ACP Pradyumn .
There's literally no other reason for him to be so openly hostile to old members of the team. He's already their boss so the power equation is in place. All he'd to do is to act detached , aloof and lofty . But it almost seemed like he was in a hurry to establish himself as their enemy in their minds. Create maximum negative impact . All these seems to be part of a bigger plan . Either both ACP Pradyumn and Ayushman were working separately on Barbosa case and that led them to each other or they were in cahoots from the beginning.
He was probably burning the photos so that his deep cover is maintained.
100% this.
Also no doubt that the CVs are just responding to our reactions. They started Eye Gang, probably had a full plan, and then had to make a mad dash to correct it when they saw the negative reaction and fall in TRP.
