The character portrayed by Navin Chowdhry has been serving a 20-year prison sentence for murder but is close to be released from behind bars as it was mentioned in June, 2022.
Coming up on the BBC One soap, Vinny (played by Shiv Jalota) sits in the café with a probation officer who confirms that his father will be out of prison the following day.
Knowing that his mother may need a heads up, Vinny tries to tell Suki but Ravi Gulati (Aaron Thiara) quickly intercepts, manipulating him into believing that Nish’s release should be a surprise.
Later on in prison, as a security guard eyes Nish, Vinny tells him that everything is sorted in Albert Square for his release.
