Emmerdale: Amit lashed out at Nicky

Last night in the Dales, Nicky confronted Amit after having a tense altercation with him over a family meal.

Amit had offended Nicky by saying that he wasn’t good enough for his son, bringing up his engagement to Gabby.

Nicky then tried to get his own back on Amit by suggesting that he had been keeping a dark secret.

Furious at the accusation, Amit told Nicky that he didn’t have anything to hide.

However, with things turning bitter, Nicky explicitly accused Amit of killing Rishi.

Shocked at Nicky’s claims, Amit then punched Nicky hard in the face, denying murdering his brother.
