Article Suraag – The Clue is an Indian television detective-crime drama series that aired on DD National from 14 June 1999 to 4 November 2002. The series, starring Sudesh Berry as Inspector Bharat, it was directed by Gautam Adhikari and produced by Shri Adhikari Brothers Limited.
In the drama, Inspector and his assistant Inspector Srivastav formed a formidable partnership in solving crimes, mostly murder mysteries. This series, unlike previous detective-crime dramas in India, involved tackling of one case every episode and seldom were the story or case of one episode continued to the next one. Markand Adhikari was the producer.
After the drama ended, a new series called CID Officer (with same crew and cast) was aired on the same time. It was described by the media as "unofficial extension" of the Suraag.
In 2025, a reboot of the series called Suraag 2.0 was announced with Sai Ketan Rao as Inspector Shaurya Sastri for Waves, OTT platform of Prasar Bharati.
