Emmerdale fans are convinced another resident knows what Amit is hiding.
Amit was introduced last year, shortly after Rishi was found dead at the bottom of the stairs. It has been suggested that Amit had something to do with his brothers death as he revealed he was present when he died.

Another penned: “As if Jai wouldn’t have doubts after everything with Amit.” A third agreed: “Jai hated Amit a few weeks ago, surely he is playing everyone?”
A fourth confused fan said: “Why would Jay believe Amit over Eric? Didn’t he have his own doubts about him until last week?” Someone else added: “Surely Jai ought to put 2 & 2 together and think about why Eric would go to such lengths…”
