Emmerdale fans mock police error as Manpreet accused of being in two places at once

Emmerdale viewers mocked an apparent blunder on the ITV soap this week, as Manpreet Sharma was grilled over a crime she couldn't possibly have committed.

Meena Jutla attempted to frame her sister for the murder of Andrea Tate, when viewers know full well it was her behind the death.

With Meena having kept her crimes a secret until her arrest last month, the police were waiting for her to actually confess to them.

Meena has taunted others including Manpreet, Liam Cavanagh and Charles Anderson about her victims, while officers do have evidence linking her to the crimes.

But there was a twist this week, when Meena failed to get Manpreet to confess to the police how Liam had deliberately pushed her off a bridge.

In revenge, Meena agreed to confess to the murders she was charged for - bit soon spilled that her sister Manpreet had actually killed Andrea.

She gave a convincing story that Manpreet was to blame, and the police soon questioned her about the accusations.

Manpreet was appalled that the officers were even wasting their time with it, and she wasn't alone as fans were very confused.

Viewers pointed out that she had a pretty big alibi that would place her nowhere near the maze, where Andrea died.

Manpreet was actually a little busy herself trying not to die, and trying to keep Charles alive after both of them were injured in a bridge collapse.

The pair managed to get to land after falling into icy rapids and almost drowning, so Manpreet would not have had the time or the energy to have killed Andrea - never mind the fact the paramedics found her with Charles.

Viewers recalled the scenes and took to Twitter to call out the police officer's big mistake, with it almost as if the detectives were suggesting Manpreet was in two places at once.

One viewer wrote: "Have the police forgotten that Manpreet fell off the bridge while Andrea was killed?"

Another fan agreed: "This storyline. Manpreet was nowhere near the maze, that funnily enough was on fire that trapped Meena after she killed Andrea! And why arent the police concerned about Layla being shot, that had witnesses...and Billy and Dawn being kidnapped. Ffs!!."

A third added: "How can Manpreet have killed Andrea when she was busy falling from the rope bridge and practically drowning at the same time????"

This was backed by another tweet that read: "Manpreet was too busy drowning up river to murder Andrea."

Meanwhile, a fifth viewer said: "Manpreet was nowhere near Andrea when she died & the police already know this. Is it a plot hole or them treating us as stupid."

Got any theories or thoughts on the storyline? Let us know in the comments section below.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.
