Stu Carpenter’s run-in with the law left Coronation Street viewers stunned when his temper flared, leading him to lash out at PC Ravinder Rawani during a desperate attempt to get into a flat. That shocking clash ended with Stu in handcuffs and Rawani bloodied, but what followed was even more puzzling — the officer vanished from Weatherfield without explanation, leaving fans to wonder if he was gone for good. Now, two years later, the story has taken a turn no one saw coming…
Looking Back At A Sudden Exit
PC Ravinder Rawani has been part of Coronation Street since 2016, played by actor Jag Sanghera. Viewers last saw him in September 2023 during a dramatic moment involving Stu. At that time, Stu became so desperate to gain entry to a flat that he accidentally struck Rawani on the nose. The situation escalated quickly, with Stu being arrested by the officer but ultimately released with only a warning.
This marked the end of Sanghera’s appearances on the soap, and the character vanished without further explanation. For two years, there were no signs of Rawani’s return, leaving viewers to wonder if his story had been quietly closed for good. Given Rawani’s regular presence in Weatherfield’s police storylines, his sudden absence stood out even more. Fans speculated whether he might eventually return, but with no updates from ITV, the character’s fate remained uncertain, until now.
The Return Confirmed
After a long absence, Jag Sanghera has been spotted back on set, confirming his return to Coronation Street. The news came not through ITV directly but from his talent agency, Nicola Bolton Management. In their update, they announced that their client had been filming again for the soap. They emphasised the moment by sharing that Sanghera was officially back as PC Ravinder Rawani.
For fans, this confirmation puts to rest months of speculation. It is not yet clear how Rawani will be reintroduced into the current storylines. But his presence alone signals that familiar threads from the past may once again play a role in Weatherfield’s ongoing drama.
While ITV has yet to reveal how PC Rawani will slot back into Weatherfield life, the very fact that he is filming again adds an intriguing layer to upcoming episodes. With his history of dealing with tricky residents and tense situations, his reappearance could easily stir up fresh drama.
