Template:24 November

24th November 2004: Deranged Maya Sharma sets fire to all seven of ex-partner Dev Alahan's shops and tries to kill Dev and his wife Sunita by tying them up, trapping them in the flat above the Coronation Street Corner Shop while it burns down, taking them with it. As revenge for Dev dumping her for Sunita, Maya had stolen Sunita's birth certificate and married illegal immigrants in her name, which resulted in Dev and Sunita being arrested on their wedding day. The pair have since been acquitted, and a bloodthirsty Maya has decided to settle for nothing less than their deaths. As Maya watches the shop from afar as fire consumes the building, Dev and Sunita are rescued by local residents. Maya tries to run them over with her car, but crashes and is hit by a lorry, severely injuring her.
