Emmerdale fans were left divided after the latest instalment of the popular ITV soap as Meena Jutla’s downfall looms closer.
During Wednesday’s episode of the Yorkshire soap, residents of Beckindale have started to become suspicious of the killer nurse as villagers fear Manpreet’s sudden absence.
It has been nearly three weeks since the medical practitioner was kidnapped by her serial killer sister after she discovered she was responsible for the slew of murders in the Dales.
Throughout the week, Manpreet’s ex-husband Rishi has raised his suspicions that his former wife could be in grave danger and even got the police involved.

But it was when former vicar Harriet finch revealed that the police would be popping round to see what Manpreet has taken with her to Ibiza.
Although Meena reassured officers that her sister was safe and well, Rishi failed to believe her lies as he followed her back to Manpreet’s house as he attempted to barge his way inside.
Luckily, Charles managed to resolve the situation as he urged Rishi on his way after Meena accused him of stalking her around the village.
