Doctor Jaggat Singh was a fictional character in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. He was played by Amerjit Deu.
[edit] History
Dr. Singh first arrived in Albert Square in November 1986. He was employed by Dr. Harold Legg to cover the surgery for him several days a week.
Naima Jeffery showed a romantic interest in Jaggat and they went on several dates. Naima's cousin Rezaul Gabir was furious as Jaggat was a Sikh and Naima was Muslim and he tried to provoke Jaggat into a fight in The Queen Vic one night. However, Jaggat just laughed off Rezaul's aggression and they eventually became friends. In the end nothing serious ever developed between Jaggat and Naima anyway, as Naima ended the relationship to marry Farrukh - a suitor from Bangladesh.
Having Lou Beale, Ethel Skinner and Dot Cotton as patients sharpened his interest in the elderly and Jaggat left the Square in December 1987 for full-time work with old people in a Northern home. Shortly before leaving, he persuaded Ethel to move into sheltered housing at Prosper Estate.
