A B H I J E E T has been a part of the CID family through 16 years. Ever since the character was introduced in the episode Case of the Stolen Dynamite [21-28 July 1999], he proved to be a no-nonsense cop. He began his journey as an Inspector. During a high-risk operation regarding drug rackets in the past, some criminals brutally assaulted him and left him to die. Somehow, he managed to survive, but lost his memory permanently. Due to this, not much is known about his pre-joining years of CID. He turned out to be a suave, strict and duty-bound cop. His loyalty to ACP Pradyuman is something viewers look forward to seeing always and this was evident during the Face Off series in 2005 where he declining the post of ACP when DIG Shamsher offered it to him. No one can forget his words "Daya, Shamsher ko malum nehin ki Abhijeet bik nahi sakta aur ACP ki office ka rashta Pradyuman ke laash ke upar se nehin jaata hai". Such is his loyalty to ACP sir. As the professional side of his grew stronger by the hour, his friendship with his colleague Daya is something all the viewers, both big and small, love to cherish on screen. His concern and sincere friendship was seen very much in Staged Murder [3-10 June 2005], Case of Inspector Daya's Abduction [7 September 2007], and so many other episodes. Many times he has not hesitated to risk his life for Daya [Abhijeet in Coma of 2010, Satara Mein Khoon of 2013 & Azaadi ki Jung of 2014 are a few recent examples]. Their friendship is the special treasure for the fans. Unfortunately due to a disastrous unexplained track, this exceptional friendship also went through a tough phase but nothing can be so strong enough to destroy it. He has been trapped several times for vengeance by criminals but proved innocent later. He never thinks twice to give his resignation if he finds himself guilty. Till date, 2 times he gave his resignation but it was not accepted. Many anecdotes say, no matter how much a person is good, there is always something to stain his reputation and Abhijeet is no exception to this. Though he isn't exactly defamed, but there certainly is a black mark while peeping into his character - Dr. Tarika. Ever since the forensic doctor entered in 2007, Abhijeet's character received a minuscule stain. His flirting with her openly in the lab and the school-boyish dance in Chudail Ka Raaz [14 February 2013] sure does irk some fans. True that in cases like Giraftaar, and the Shreya Sagaai Track, she supported him, but since the track failed to be handled in a mature way, fans prefer to be better off without it. Apart from this, he shares a harmonious bond with all his juniors and his nok-jhoks with Salukhe sir in the early days are so much worth cherishing. He is also known for his investigative capability. He has an ingenuity to shoot at the target accurately however far it is by just hearing the sound. He is by far the best marksman in C.I.D. & till now he took more than 70 disguises. To put this character in a nut-shell, Abhijeet is a devoted and a very determined cop, a model senior and a very loyal junior to ACP sir.
STOLEN GUN episode marks one of the milestones in the show itself. Its considered by fans as one of the best CID episodes ever aired. When a guy named Paresh manages to steal the ACP's gun itself, the team has to make sure to get hold of him before things go out of hand. The show marks the debut of one of the actors on the show, who later went on to portray a very important character. Aditya Srivastava, now popularly known as Sr.Inspector Abhijeet, portrayed the role of the criminal Paresh in this episode. Whether this can be considered as an audition for him or not is left up to you to decide. But the CID fans are lucky to have had him act in this episode. You cannot help but feel for the criminal in this episode. Aditya Srivastava performs excellently and enthrals the audience with his mind blowing performance. This episode is a must watch not only because of the investigation but also because you can't not appreciate the criminal, the magic of Aditya Srivastava!
An ex inspector, known for his undying dedication towards his work, is found after his kidnapping, a long time later inside a car, what's worse is when he wakes up to realise that he no longer remembers anything from his past, neither his name, his work or even his own mother. Traumatised by these events, he struggles yet decides to help ACP Pradyuman and his team of cops catch hold of the criminals who were behind all this. The STOLEN DYNAMITE episode marks the entry of fan favourite, Abhijeet. Aditya Srivastava plays the role of the cop kidnapped aka Abhijeet and does full justice to the role. Aditya sir had once mentioned that he had planned to stay with the show for a very few episodes, but thankfully a few turned into a lot more and he continues to portray the character of Abhijeet that we love so much. The storyline as to how a cop who can't even remember who he was manages to help the team catch a set of criminals is what is absolutely enthralling! And did you know? You can hear Daya referring to him as 'sir' in this episode. Also the episode was aired on 21st July, the same day as Aditya Srivastava's birthday, call it a mere co-incidence but it's interesting to know Abhijeet entered the lives of CID fans on the same day !!
Another extremely thrilling case is THE CASE OF VANISHING LADY. A very interesting episode where two separate story-lines merge into one! When Abhijeet is given the duty of making sure Ambassador Mr. Wilcox reaches airport safely, he gets caught into another case when he finds that a woman who had entered a building never came out, when the two cases seem to intermingle, Abhijeet has to make sure the life of Mr. Wilcox isn't in danger. A very thrilling episode where the tension is there till the very last minute! To add to that it is one of those few cases where the main criminal isn't really caught in the end!
ACP with team is visiting a jail where they find a very young prisoner. He is accused of trading in drugs. Speaking with him ACP understands that he is a small fish and the masterminds are out in the open. This leads to Abhijeet going undercover disguised as a drug dealer to find the criminals. That's why the episode name is THE CASE OF UNDERCOVER COP. Abhijeet is the highlight of this episode. The whole undercover scene is very well written and performed.
CASE OF IMPOSSIBLE MURDER is the case where a lady whose husband was arrested and hanged because of Abhijeet decides to take revenge against him. She takes him into a closed room and tells him that she has evidence of her husband's innocence. Suddenly she looks behind Abhijeet and asks an invisible man not to shoot her. Abhijeet turns back to see who she's talking to when he hears a gunshot and the lady falls down, with a bullet injury on her chest. Daya and others hear the gunshot and break into the room to see the injured lady and Abhijeet with a gun in his hand. The lady is rushed to the hospital but she dies on the way. Forensic investigation proves that the bullet found in the lady was fired from Abhijeet's bullet. Abhijeet is suspended. Few deeper investigations prove that the shot fired in the closed room was not really a gunshot but just a cracker with a packet of fake blood in the lady's clothes, often used in movies. The lady had shot herself dead on the way to the hospital with another bullet which was stealthily extracted from Abhijeet's own gun.The ingenious manner in which the lady killed herself in order to frame Abhijeet makes it one of the best classic cases of all time. The episode has some fine acting by the trio and also Kanika who played the revengeful lady.
CASE OF THE UNKNOWN GIRL is again a memorable case. Even though Case Of Dishonest Cop was aired after 639 coins, this case seems to take itself as a follow up to case of 639 coins where after an injury it is revealed in this episode that Abhijeet lost his memory yet again. Making him wonder who he is and he doesn't recognise his fellow team mates. However it is more like a filler when it is shown that after 3 weeks Abhijeet has recovered yet again and once again recognises everyone. The scene here where Daya says "ab toh nahi kahoge na kaun Daya?" makes it quite a memorable scene. When a mysterious girl jumps in front of Abhijeet's car, Abhijeet decides to help her and takes up her case. A very interesting episode with some great storyline and fabulous scenes and lovely dialogues! Yet again Aditya sir proves why he is indeed one of the best !!
