Hindi TV Serial - CID - a 4 episode sequence where ACP Pradyuman resigns

For some time, there has been an ongoing story going on about how the character (Shivaji Satam) playing ACP Pradyuman has resigned from the serial, which would be a surprise since the serial has been going on for a very long time and the ACP along with Senior Inspectors Abhijeet and Daya are the main characters of the serial. And for some time now, the serial has also been showing the DCP, DCP Chitroley, who has been against the ACP but has not really been able to take any action against him since the success rate of the CID has been pretty good and the team has been entirely supportive.
However, in a complicated case involving marriages, a marriage bureau, a bride who has been running away, and smuggling of girls, the serial after a long time shows conflict in terms of the ACP resigning from the service (or rather, being forced to resign from the service since the DCP shows a video that would show the ACP running away from a girl who gets killed in a bomb blast - this is shown as cowardice by the ACP and he is also not willing to explain what happened - even to his own team). The DCP finally manages to get what he wanted, his own choice of ACP but the team is not very cooperative, and his choice of ACP is also not somebody who is able to inspire the team.
So, the 4 episode series starts with a bride in full bridal dress in a car, trying to escape from some people and using a gun to get the car stopped. She is pursued by some people and is then saved by the ACP who drops her off at the entrance of her housing colony. When the ACP goes there the next night, he is not able to locate her or anybody who has heard of her, causing all his suspicions to get raised, and then the investigation is started. And soon after, there is an explosion and the DCP comes with a video that shows the ACP running away; something that causes surprise to the team but they have still full faith in him. And then starts an investigation where Pradyuman is working in the marriage bureau that is the place of suspicion, and the team in the CID is also trying to figure out what happened. Finally, the ACP and the team manage to prevent the girls from being smuggled, and he comes back to the CID as a hero.

Hindi tv serial - Diya aur bati hum - Finally Sandhya is exposing the truth to Bhabho

For quite some time, the relations between Bhabho and Sandhya have been poisoned with the belief by Bhabho that Sandhya was responsible for the police complaint of harassment that got Bhabho jailed. Even though now the relations between Bhabho and Sandhya are not so heavily strained, there are still a lot of issues in the relationship, and it needs the expose that Meena is responsible for this complaint to bring about resolution of the relationship. Now, this would be really traumatic for Meena, since Bhabho does not have a high opinion of Meena either.

However, things are getting even more complex for Vikram and Meena. They want to spend some time away from the home, but it would not be easy since getting to spend a holiday away can be problematic. So they make an excuse and decide to go to Mt. Abu. However, they make a wrong selection of hotel, selecting a hotel that is typically used for single night liaisons, or even by the hour. So, dutifully there is a police raid in which they are caught, while they are drunk, and spend the night in the police station. When they come to their senses, they realize the problem they are in, and are told by the police officer that they can be left off if they show their marriage certificate. Meena has a fit since she realizes that if Bhabho gets to know, there will be hell to pay. However, they call Suraj, since they do need help, and Suraj is angry at the lie, but comes to get them out of jail without telling the reason to anyone.

At home, when Sandhya gets to hear after they have lied about the place, she makes a connection with a name that was used the last time as well, and decides to do more sleuthing. All this investigation leads her to Meena's name, and she is angry at the fact that Meena filed a complaint against Bhabho and wants to punish her. On the other hand, Bhabho is angry that Sandhya spend a lot of time outside the house without telling her, and in the confrontation, finally Sandhya tells them that the complaint was filed by Meena, and it was Sandhya who talked to the magistrate and got the complaint dismissed.

Hindi TV Serial - Uttaran - About to take a leap, Veer to die

The serial has decided to take a huge leap, and is slowly getting rid of some of its key characters. First Tapasya decided to leave the serial, and they decided to show this by making her escape from the house because of all the pressure that she was facing, and left uncertain whether she will ever come back. And now, Veer (the real life husband of Tapasya) is also going to be leaving the serial, going to be killed in a Holi party by Avinash (one wonders as to how people who are caught by the police can suddenly re-appear so suddenly, while normal people who are accused of such crimes would be locked away for years).
In the serial, for probably the first time, Nani is getting her just punishment. She had taken away Yuvraj from the hospital and left the family members to believe that their child had died; and Iccha and Veer believed this for a long time till they got to know the truth when Yuvraj was kidnapped by Avinash since he wanted Kanha back. After some amount of drama and the involvement of the police, Avinash was caught and both Yuvraj and Kanha was caught back.
In the meantime, Divya is totally gone ballistic; she refuses to believe anything that Iccha or Damini, or even her husband Jogi Thakur has to say, and supports Nani and Pushkar in whatever they have to say. So when there is a reason to believe that Iccha can be caught for having Mukta with her, even though this was Tapu's daughter who was stolen from her (somewhat because of her own mistake), they get the police and take her to jail. At that time, Veer gets involved and along with Jogi Thakur, decide to pay back Nani for her crimes. They get the video which shows Nani stealing Yuvraj, and this ensures the police take Nani to jail, and she has to stay there for some time.

Hindi Serial - Crime Patrol - A depiction of crimes in society along with the police-work and motives behind the crime

TV news channels have specialized in taking any bit of news and making it into a full fledged drama, such that when any crime happens, it is instantly popularized as breaking news; further, the makers of such news reports are competing with each other to sensationalize these crimes. You will not get to hear an even-handed portrayal of the motives behind such crimes, and very rarely do you get to know more details of how such crimes were solved (or as in the case of kidnappings, what were the procedures adopted by the police to stop such crimes).
Sony has started a serial called 'Crime Patrol' (actually it was first introduced in 2003, and then restarted in 2010 - the current year). The purpose of the serial is to get two anchors (the popular television stars Sakshi Tanwar and Anoop Soni) to present how the police investigates and prevents crime; it also shows the method of police investigations. The show started on January 26, 2010, and appears at 8:30 PM everyday.
The serial continues to promise that it will not sensationalize crime, instead presenting the crime as it was, in a simple format that will enable the viewers to understand the actual facts of the crime. The serial is not attempting to create fictional stories, and will instead get the anchors to go to the actual scene of the crime, see the real people involved. The show will not only look at the police force, but even try to determine cases where the BSF, CRPF, ITBP, and other such security organizations are involved. The show attempts to look at domestic crimes rather than terrorist crimes, looking at cases such as kidnapping, theft, robbery, murder, etc.

Sony - Powder - The story of the fight against a drug lord and story of people leading the fight

Powder is a relatively new serial on Sony, the story of the fight against drugs. The fight against terrorism and the underworld is now mixed with the story of how they control the entire drugs scene, especially the scenario of recreational abuse of drugs by a young fast generation (who are not addicts in the classical sense but more active users). To cater to this generation, there are a new series of people trying to make their riches, and being much smarter about how to stay one step ahead of the police.
In this fight, there is also the depiction of jealousy and fighting between the various Government agencies, with the pivotal fight against drugs being led by the Narcotics Control Bureau. They have a honest team led by Usmaan Malik; and they are after drug lord Naved Ansari.
The current episode of the serial focuses on a lady Binata from Kohima, who is otherwise well educated and accomplished, and who needs to be admitted in a drug rehabilitation center. She also accuses the people over there of not knowing anything about the North East states. In a different situation, Naved wants to go to Dubai, but the don over there, Musa, refuses to let him come over there.
The show shows a lot of the actual goings on in the narcotics scene, including places where foreigners come for drugs (including places in Himachal Pradesh); it also shows the interactions between lawyers and the drug control officials via the legal system.

Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai, Ranveer in lots of trouble

When everything else seems to be going right for the serial and the characters, then there is a need to add complexities to the story and turn it around. As a part of this, in the serial, when everything seemed to be going fine, you either add some new villainous characters to the scene or change the circumstances, and that is what they have done in Bidaai.
First they added a daadi-bua who does not like Vasu at all and who seeks to play people against one another, and then complicated matters by adding a deadly case. Just when Daadi-Bua seemed to be pushing Ragini and Sadhana against each other by implying that their husbands were being treated distinctly, came a case whereby some hoodlums were troubling Sadhana, and then Ranveer assaulted one of them very severely.
As a result, the hoodlum is very critically injured, and Ranveer is now in jail, and now Sadhana has to either speak the truth and see Ranveer get a long jail term, or she has to lie if she wants to retain her relationships, especially with Ragini. Ranveer is being prosecuted by a lawyer who has not lost a case, and he promises to get a long term for Ranveer.
