Cid S2 Episode 105 May 2026
As the episode progresses (around the 22-minute mark), Dr. Salunkhe makes a shocking discovery. The "question mark" of blood is not a taunt from the killer—it is a biological map. Using luminol, the team discovers that the killer did not enter or exit the room. The killer was already inside the gallery.
Without giving away the final 5 minutes (to preserve the thrill for new viewers), the resolution involves a rare medical condition known as Hematidrosis—sweating blood—which forces a confession from the least likely suspect. ACP Pradyuman’s closing dialogue in Episode 105—“Sometimes, khoon (blood) is not the crime. It is the witness”—became an instant meme in early 2000s internet forums.
Warning: Spoilers ahead for a show that is nearly 20 years old, but for new viewers, read with caution.
The Cold Open The episode begins at a high-profile jewelry exhibition in South Mumbai. Businessman Ratan Seth (a recurring guest actor known for playing smugglers) unveils a priceless diamond necklace called the "Star of Bombay." Within five minutes, the lights go out. When they return, Ratan Seth is dead—stabbed with a decorative letter opener—and the necklace is gone.
The Investigation ACP Pradyuman arrives with Daya and Abhijeet. The twist? The room was locked from the inside. The only other people present were Seth’s wife (Maya), his brother (Karan), and a mysterious waiter who has since vanished. cid s2 episode 105
In CID S2 Episode 105, the writers introduce a unique alibi-breaker: the "Ice Alibi." The waiter claims to have been in the freezer room of the hotel kitchen during the time of the murder, verifying his alibi via a frozen watch.
The Forensic Breakthrough This is where Dr. Salunkhe shines. He notices that the wound has faint blue fibers. Under a microscope, they reveal themselves to be from a rare, imported silk tie—only available at one boutique in the city. Daya and Fredricks track the purchase to... the wife, Maya. But she claims she bought it for her husband, who was wearing it before he died.
The Climactic Twist Halfway through the episode (approx. 18-minute mark), the team believes it's an open-and-shut case of marital conspiracy. However, Abhijeet re-examines the crime scene photos and spots a reflection in a glass on the table. The reflection shows a third hand—wearing a nurse’s watch.
They discover that Ratan Seth’s "brother" Karan was actually a disgruntled ex-employee pretending to be family. The real brother was locked in a hospital ward. The killer had impersonated Karan, used the waiter as a patsy, and framed the wife. As the episode progresses (around the 22-minute mark), Dr
The Final Act (The "CID" Style Confrontation) In true CID fashion, Episode 105 ends in an abandoned godown. Daya breaks down a metal door with his shoulder (a signature move). The killer tries to escape via a crane, but Abhijeet shoots the hydraulic line, causing the crane to drop safely. The killer is apprehended, and ACP Pradyuman delivers a monologue about greed.
The final shot: The team walks away in slow motion as the end credit music—the iconic, suspenseful saxophone theme—plays.

Critics at the time praised the episode for not relying on "magical" science. Everything shown was theoretically possible with 2002 technology.

Pro tip: If you find a version that opens with ACP Pradyuman reading a newspaper in his office, that’s the correct one. The "remastered" version cuts the first 3 minutes.
Spoiler Warning: Detailed plot points follow.
The episode opens with a frantic call to the CID office from a wealthy art collector, Mr. Ranjeet Sinha, who claims that someone has broken into his locked gallery and stolen a priceless ruby, "The Eye of Kali." However, by the time ACP Pradyuman arrives with Senior Inspector Abhijeet and Inspector Fredricks, they discover not a robbery, but a murder.
Mr. Sinha is found dead in the center of the gallery, surrounded by shattered glass. Oddly, there is no sign of forced entry. The only clue is a pool of blood that seems to have been deliberately smeared into the shape of a question mark.
