Recognized for its uncomplicated style, the Panchayat web series has received widespread praise around the nation. Like the previous two seasons, the third season has won over everyone’s affection instantly. The first half of this season’s episodes centers on Sachiv ji’s efforts to regain his place in Phulera, while the second half focuses on the village’s dynamic political scene.
Although it may lack some of the intensity of earlier seasons, it is filled with poignant and unforgettable moments. While maintaining the simplicity of its predecessors, the third season places a greater focus on drama. It eventually brings chaos and unpredictability to some scenes.

What made this season more memorable is that the original cast—Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Sanvikaa, and Chandan Roy—made a triumphant return to the digital screens. Notably, many heartwarming stories are explored in this season, such as the political competition between Phulera West and East, an old woman’s search for a better house for her family, Prahlad’s sorrow over his son’s martyrdom, and Rinki and Sachiv Ji’s developing relationship.
Amid the reviews, one mystery has left viewers puzzled: who shot Pradhan Ji at the end of season 3? The season concludes with a dramatic twist, leaving everyone eagerly awaiting season 4 for answers.
The burning question, “Pradhan Ji ko goli kisne maari?” has been trending on social media
Recall the mystery surrounding Katappa’s murder of Baahubali, when everyone was asking “Katappa ne Baahubali ko kyun maara?” In a similar vein, currently, the most important query is: “Pradhan Ji ko goli kisne maari?”

In the last episode, Neena Gupta and other people can be seen around Pradhan Ji and Raghubir Yadav in the hospital. However, the identity of the shooter remains unknown as it was carried out by masked men.
Naturally, everyone, including Sachiv Ji, suspects the antagonist of Panchayat 3, Vidhayak Ji. However, he denies any involvement in the incident. Nevertheless, he hinted instead, “Kya pata Pradhan Ji khud pe goli chalwa diye hon?”
This statement adds to the confusion, which led to many people speculating that maybe he is guessing right about the assailants. While it’s unclear who shot Pradhan Ji, here are three major hints suggesting that Pradhan Ji might have planned it himself!
3 hints that made it obvious that Pradhan Ji planned his own assassination
1. The chess reference is in the series.
In the last episode, Swanand Kirkire’s character Saansad Ji appears and informs Vidhayak Ji, “Rajneeti ka khel shatranj ki tarah khela jaata hai!” Who knows, maybe Pradhan Ji used this lesson to his advantage and used a checkmate trick on Vidhayak.
2. The instances of manipulation for political gain
We have witnessed Pradhan Ji and his spouse, the original Pradhan, occasionally taking on the role of politicians during the entire season. Occasionally, even a dishonest one. For example, since Abhishek was only going to be serving for three or four months longer, Neena Gupta was willing to allow the other Sachiv to join.
On the second occasion, she advises her husband to counterbalance his political friends by using a man whose pigeon has been slaughtered.
3. Pradhan Ji’s behavior changed throughout the season
Pradhan Ji’s conduct changes with the course of the season. He is making errors and doesn’t even feel guilty about them anymore. It is regarded as one of his political strategies. Thus, it’s possible that the gunfire simply damaged his shoulder rather than injuring him.
What do you think about these hints? Do you think that Pradhan Ji can really do this for political gain?
