so far seems like eviction really happened and he isn't in the house. But i still think that maybe there's gonna be a twist in the upcoming days. Cause from what they have shown and are being legit called out:
The plotting
Sajid knowing about the eviction
the way everyone highlighted that Ankit should go
The smartest thing would have been proving them wrong and make the rivalry between Priyankit and mandli stronger.
But like this...the eviction doesn't make any sense other than trigger something.
