In a jaw-dropping episode of CID 2, forensic expert Dr. Salunkhe, played by Narendra Gupta, is revealed as the show’s traitor.

This twist also marks Narendra Gupta’s exit from the show. Interestingly, his departure aligns with other recent changes in the CID 2 cast. Characters like Fredericks (Dinesh Phadnis) and Inspector Abhijeet (Aditya Srivastava) made brief returns, only to exit again shortly after. Meanwhile, Dr. Tarika (Shraddha Musale) has re-entered the team—hinting that she may step in to replace Salunkhe as CID’s lead forensic expert.
