Kash Karib was the husband of Yvonne Karib, with whom he has two children, Chesney and Meena. However, Kash was actually gay and had an affair with his underage employee Ian Gallagher. Kash became a city councillor in Series 3, but after falling into financial difficulties and sex scandal he faked his own suicide and left town during Series 4, leaving Yvonne homeless and in huge debt. Kash returned briefly in Series 6, only for his son to reject him after finding out the truth of his father's sexuality and how he treated Yvonne. Chesney then left his father to burn in a fire at the Karib's Shop after knocking him unconscious with a punch to the head in anger, Kash is now presumed dead as no one was seen pulling him out of the fire.
