💥 The Betrayal That Shocked Walford

For months, Okie has been entangled in a risky game of loyalty and trust. Previously portrayed as a morally grey but fundamentally good-hearted character, Okie’s past actions — including shady dealings and secretive alliances — have now caught up with him. His downfall comes directly as a result of Ravi turning against him, revealing secrets that Okie had hoped would remain buried.

 

 

Ravi, long seen as a complex character whose ambition and cunning often teeter on the edge of morality, made the calculated decision to hand Okie over to the police. Sources reveal that this was not an impulsive act; it was a strategic move designed to protect himself and manipulate events in his favor.

“Ravi has been playing a dangerous game,” an insider said. “He knew exactly how to turn Okie’s past against him. It’s cold, clever, and completely shocking to everyone who trusted him.”
