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.

The villain was later spotted having a meeting with his lawyer, who made the chilling comment that Rishi’s death was “massively convenient” before Amit sarcastically branded his brother’s death a “tragedy”.

During Tuesday’s episode (March 26) of the ITV soap, Eric enlisted the help of Vinny after he was warned by Amit to keep out of his affairs. Vinny swiped the keys to Holdgate and urged Eric to hunt for incriminating evidence against Rishi.

Eric entered the home and was chilled as he walked past the spot where Rishi died. Meanwhile, Vinny was tasked with distracting Amit.

But Vinny’s repeated glances at the clock and circular conversation, as well as the mysterious disappearance of his keys caused Amit to abruptly leave The Hide. Returning to Holdgate, Amit found Eric at his home with Jai.

Eric openly shared his suspicions about Amit, but Jai defended his father, saying there is no evidence that he has done anything wrong. A frustrated Eric left the house before confessing to Vinny that he believes Amit murdered Rishi.

However, fans are convinced that Jai was only pretending to side with Amit and knows he is up to something. Sharing their thoughts online, one wrote: “Jai is not that stupid he knows something is up.”

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…”
