But he’s also set his sights on Stacey Slater, much to Kheerat Panesar’s annoyance
Aaron Thiara was first introduced to BBC One viewers as Ravi when Phil Mitchell was trying to avoid a horrible death behind bars.
As viewers may remember, Ravi agreed to protect Phil on the condition he received information about Kheerat.
Since then, the criminal has been released from prison and made his way to Albert Square ready for a fresh start.
However, this has led him straight to Suki Panesar for whom he murdered his own father Ranveer after the latter tried to rape the owner of the Minute Mart.
