ACP Pradyuman's Law of Solving Crime


ACP Pradyuman needs no introduction. Everyone who has ever seen any episode of CID in last 15 years knows him very well. Who have not seen CID would know him from a lot of CID jokes doing rounds over the internet and mobile world. Whomsoever still does not recognise him can stop reading further because this post is not for them.

ACP has been solving crime for last 15 years without fail with no promotions or transfers. He has not been promoted or transferred because he is indispensable. He has derived a method of solving crime, which is foolproof and has not failed him ever in last so many years. We will call this method "ACP's Law of Solving Crime".

Everyone familiar with ACP is familiar with this image of him.


Over the years people have noticed him making this gesture with his right hand and likened it to Fleming's Right Hand Rule. Very few people have actually understood the real meaning of this gesture. For the benefit of all here is the explanation. This is ACP Law of Solving Crime. His three fingers are pointing towards three different directions and they mean that you need three points to solve any crime conclusively i.e. it requires a combination of total three evidences or witness to nail the correct culprit. With two points you can reach a suspect but it always requires a third point to find the real criminal.

This three point rule is the reason any typical CID investigation is run in three parallel streams. One is normally headed by Abhijeet, second is headed by Daya and last but not the least third is headed by highly talented Dr Salunkhe. When all these three mutually exclusive lines of investigations point to same direction you finally nail the criminal.
