Ajay Devgn has officially stepped in as the new host of Crime Patrol, taking over from Anup Soni, who hosted the popular crime show for several years. The actor made the announcement by sharing a promo on Instagram, hours after a report claimed that he had replaced Soni as the host.
In the promo, Devgn can be heard saying in Hindi, “They teach us in childhood to beware of strangers. To keep the house locked at night. But in many cases today, the culprit is someone you know. They know your address, have your keys and even have a seat at your dining table. This time on Crime Patrol, we will bring you cases that shook the country. This is not to scare you, but to make you aware of what is happening. This time, I will be with you.”
