In tense scenes, kidnapper Keiron dragged Kelly Neelan up on top of a building as he planned to push her off after shooting Gary Widnass dead to make it seem like a murder-suicide. It comes after the youngster planned to pay the villain £10,000 to kill Gary in a revenge plan for him killing her dad, Rick.
However, she couldn't cough up the money and scared that she was going to dob him into the police Kieron come up with the new devious plan. However, Gary told Aadi that his partner was in trouble and they both tracked Kelly down hoping to save her.

In a dramatic showdown, Kieron ended up grabbing Gary around the neck and pointed the gun at his head. Kelly was lingering on the edge of the high rise building as both of them were set to meet their fates at the hands of the criminal.
But as Kieron aimed his gun at Kelly, Aadi jumped in front of the shot to save her. Moments later he was unconscious on the floor in a pool of blood as the bullet hit him.
Fans on Twitter were devastated by the twist as a sea of "noooooo" flooded the social media platform. With Kelly's exit pending from the soap many expected her to take the bullet so were shocked to see that it was Aadi who got hurt.
Ross said: "I hope Aadi does not die #corrie." Grianne said: "NOOO Aadi, did NOT just die protecting Kelly please #Corrie."
Another user said: "I swear I'm gonna stop watching if Aadi dies #corrie". Shaky said: "Aadi please don't die pleeeaaasssseeee."
Luckily, it wasn't the end for Aadi yet as later scenes showed him conscious again but severely ill in hospital. His dad, Dev, collapsed upon hearing the news that his son had been shot and demanded answers from Kelly and Gary as Keiron fled the scene before being caught.
