the woods and sets it on fire. Vanessa then tells Kirin that all parents make mistakes and forgives him. When Sam Dingle (James Hooton) discovers his burnt-out car, Kirin panics and decides to leave before he is caught. When Vanessa walks in on him with his bags packed, he lies and says that he does not love Johnny, states that he is not cut out for parenthood, and suggests it would be better if Vanessa lied to Johnny about his real father. Vanessa throws him out. He then tells Rakesh about the hit-and-run. Rakesh promises to get the best legal counsel for Kirin and seemingly convinces him to stay and face the music. While Rakesh is upstairs for a few minutes, Kirin steals his car and flees. Following this, he fled to continental Europe, before ending up in South America, where he contacted Rakesh and requested £20,000 to settle down there. This was a contributing factor to the financial troubles that resulted in Rakesh burning down Mill Cottage to claim the insurance money to pay off his debt. The fire itself resulted in Nicola King (Nicola Wheeler) becoming paralysed and Ronnie Hale (John McArdle) slipping into a coma, and the plan ultimately backfired when the insurance company concluded the fire was started fraudulently. Kirin returns in September 2020 when he learns that Charity Dingle (Emma Atkins) wants to adopt his son; he demands £15,000 in return for signing the adoption form. Unable to raise the funds, Charity offers Kirin £12,000, which he takes when he sees nearby police cars. However, he injures himself trying to break into a garage; Paddy Kirk (Dominic Brunt) finds him and calls for an ambulance and the police. Charity learns that he is in the hospital, and disguises herself as a nurse in offer to talk to him. She promises Kirin that she will sneak him out of hospital in return for signing the adoption forms, but then reveals that she had no intention of helping him to escape, and gives him advice for going to prison. In October 2020, Kirin is sentenced to seven years imprisonment for the hit-and-run on Tess.
