BBC EastEnders fans call out major blunder as Kheerat Panesar is sentenced

EASTENDERS fans have blasted writers over a huge blunder as Kheerat Panesar was finally sentenced on the soap.

Viewers of the BBC One show watched on as it was revealed that Kheerat had been given a shocking life sentence in prison after falsely confessing to the murder of Ranveer Gulati.

Kheerat did so in order to protect his mother Suki Panesar.

Suki was left crushed as she was informed by Eve of his life sentence.

Bursting into tears, she crumbled to the ground at the shock of the news.

However, it did not take long for fans to pick up on a serious error within the story.

Viewers were left wondering just how Kheerat managed to get a life sentence from purely a confession alone.

Many argued that it was an unrealistic sentence as there was no evidence to back up Kheerat’s claims.

Writing online about the blunder, one said: “Kheerat getting life when there is no evidence that ties him to it is another example of s*** writing from the soap. Such a good character wasted for nothing.”

Another added:  “So Kheerat got life sadly but what about Gray [Atkins] and Janine [Butcher]? Never actually found out with either of them? And Gray’s did a lot worse. Leave it totally open-ended in case they ever wanna bring them back yet again potentially? Even it’s just a recast?”

It continued to leave fans wondering just how Kheerat managed to land the harshest sentence possible when he had no involvement at all in the crime.

A fellow viewer said:  “How did Kheerat get life when he didn’t even do it?” 

Whilst another penned:  “How did Kheerat get life when there’s nothing proving it’s him?”
