If they regretted kicking out Daya and are making up for it now, how come they don't seem to feel other members of the team are owed the same courtesy? Last season, for example, Shreya arrested Abhijeet because she suspected he'd shot Daya and Abhijeet couldn't recall what had happened. ACP Sir hadn't been present in the bureau when this went down. He was told when he returned. It was Sachin then who defended Abhijeet and Tarika who helped him. Both ACP Sir and Dr Salunkhe were very quick to believe Abhijeet was responsible for Daya being wounded and missing.
I do not understand what you're trying to say here. Throughout the loooonnnggg journey of CID there have been many instances of the whole team trusting either Abhijeet or Daya inspite of incriminating evidences and there are also atleast one two example of them not trusting either of them under same. I already gave you an example of this season. Daya mostly always trusted Abhijeet and stood up for him. This time it was different because it was ACP Pradyumn's death and betrayal of a member leading to it. This is different. I can not blame Daya for suspecting Abhijeet when I myself found his actions very mysterious and suspicious. I still do.
If Daya's response to the implication (from Barbosa himself, a criminal and a manipulator, if I am correct) that they had a traitor in the team is to suspect people he has known for 20 years and to trust two people he barely knows (because Ayushman himself had ad instances of suspicious behaviour), then he is a very unreliable judge of character. ACP Sir is even heard telling Barbosa in the recording that Barbosa has successfully divided the CID team. If a criminal comes and tells any of us that there is a traitor in your team, a criminal with vested interested in seeing us divided and suspicious of each other, who would we be more inclined to trust: the criminal, or the people we know and have worked with?
This whole para above makes no sense to me. Because it is totally irrelevant to what led to Daya's actions. Forget a cop, even a layman with zero knowledge of crime can easily see it's an insider job. In broad daylight, Barbosa marched in with his gang confidently into the bureau and then they moved in a purposeful and well coordinated manner to plant explosives , secure gateways , took hostages , unarmed officers , bombed the building and presumably killed ACP ,yet themselves escaped unscathed. It was obvious they knew everything about the bureau like the back of their palm. Everyone knew there's atleast one traitor ( honestly I thought there'd be atleast two . Still can not believe Dr. Salunkhe leaked so much information alone and helped Barbosa to execute his plan so meticulously all by himself . I was sure Avni or Sachin or both are also involved. )
If Daya didn't think there was a traitor inside the core team, he'd be too dumb to even call himself a cop. Let's not forget Abhijeet also thought there's a traitor. Only his methods to approach were milder and he was completely on board suspecting Purvi and Pankaj and others and going around doing background checks on them , was he not ? And he was not wrong to do so either. Trust is secondary when removing the traitor or else everyone's life is in danger.
Anshuman even came to CID for this specific purpose , to find out the traitor. It was common knowledge that an operation of this scale and magnitude can not be carried out without the help of an ( or more than one ) insider with such finesse.
I'm not trying to put Daya down. I love his character in the show (especially the fact that, like Freddy, he doesn't try to be stoic all the time and isn't afraid to be emotionally expressive). I'm just trying to say they're all flawed characters in one way or the other, and this is a flaw I'd like to see him called out for. Their flaws and the contradictions in the characters are what makes the show interesting.
