Jitendra Bahadur’s report on Home Ministry’s action on blocking Wingo app by the government over cyber fraud.
In this India Today report, Jitendra Bahadur provides details on an important action taken by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) and the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center (I4C) against the Wingo app. Jitendra Bahadur says ‘the command and control center server of the Wingo app was blocked’ after it was discovered that the application was being used to conduct large-scale cyber scams. The app reportedly sent fake SMS messages from users’ phones without their knowledge to facilitate fraudulent UPI transfers. The government action included geo-blocking command servers, removing over 53 YouTube videos and blocking four Telegram channels with over 1.53 lakh users. Jitendra Bahadur explains that fraudsters targeted individuals using compromised devices of existing users, even if they did not have the app installed. Authorities have advised citizens to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the I4C helpline on 1930 as the investigation into the cyber fraud network continues.

Vidya Report: After Ajit Pawar’s death, NCP leaders insisted on making Sunetra Pawar the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
In this special report, reporter Vidya provides updates on the political crisis in Maharashtra following the sudden demise of Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) is now facing a leadership vacuum, with sources indicating that Ajit Pawar’s wife and Rajya Sabha member Sunetra Pawar is being deployed to take charge. Vidya says, ‘They are the same people who are insisting that Sunita should become the Deputy Chief Minister here in Maharashtra and that she should lead the party in the state.’ While the Sharad Pawar faction is reportedly pushing for a merger, the Ajit Pawar faction is currently focusing on internal leadership, with Praful Patel expected to manage union affairs while Sunetra Pawar will handle the state. The report highlights the possibility of Sunetra Pawar contesting from the now vacant Baramati seat and the upcoming meeting between NCP leaders and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to discuss the proposal for a new deputy chief minister.
Akshita Nandagopal’s report on TVK claims that Chennai is no longer a DMK stronghold
In this special report from India Today, anchor Akshita Nandagopal discusses the escalating war of words between Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam (TVK) and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) in Tamil Nadu. The report highlights a significant claim by TVK leader Nirmal Kumar, who said, ‘Chennai has transformed from a DMK bastion to a TVK bastion in the last three years.’ The TVK leadership suggests that the DMK’s long-standing dominance in the state capital is waning due to the growing support base among urban youth and suburban voters for TVK chief Vijay. Discussions also explore the possibility that Chief Minister MK Stalin or Deputy Chief Minister Udhayanidhi Stalin will be forced to look for safe constituencies in future elections. While Chennai has historically been a DMK stronghold, the emergence of TVK as a political challenger marks a possible change in the political dynamics of the state ahead of the upcoming elections.
Kanimozhi Karunanidhi criticizes ‘imposition of Hindi’ on new Chennai Railways signboard
In this special report, the focus is on the growing political controversy over the alleged imposition of Hindi in Tamil Nadu. DMK MP Kanimozhi Karunanidhi has made a new allegation against the central government after new signboards were installed at Park Town and Dr. MGR Central railway stations in Chennai. Kanimozhi Karunanidhi said, ‘We will not stop protesting until they stop imposing Hindi.’ While all three languages – Tamil, English and Hindi – remain on board, the DMK has marked the change in font placement as a deliberate ‘Hindi push’. The development follows a similar dispute in Kallakurichi, further intensifying the linguistic debate as elections approach in the state. The report includes insights from Anagha Kesava on how these new replacements have created a new political confrontation between the DMK and the Centre.
Sneha Mordani’s report: Farmers in Chandauli demand better MSP and irrigation in the Union Budget
On this special report, Sneha Mordani travels to rural Chandauli in Uttar Pradesh, often referred to as the ‘Rice Bowl of India’, to capture the immediate expectations of farmers ahead of the Union Budget. The agriculture sector, which employs about 46% of India’s workforce, is facing increasing pressure from rising input costs and erratic weather. Highlighting the dire situation, a farmer said, ‘We are not getting the cost of production. ‘Profit is a distant thing.’ The report highlights how the farming community is demanding a more robust minimum support price (MSP) that ensures profitability rather than just covering costs. Beyond financial aid, the transcript outlines the need for modern machinery, subsidies for black rice cultivation, and improved irrigation facilities. Sneha Mordani says that although the government has provided some machinery, high operating costs remain a hindrance. The report concludes with a call for climate-resilient practices and a market platform for chemical-free products to ensure both farmer prosperity and consumer health.
