	Description:		First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Hamza Khan about how a network of scamsters allegedly diverted funds from flagship welfare schemes like PM-Kisan in Rajasthan, roping in thousands of illegal beneficiaries. Next, The Indian Express' Brendan Dabhi and Nikhila Henry explain a ricin-linked bioterror investigation that began in Gujarat and has now been handed over to the National Investigation Agency. (15:20) And in the end, we look at why NCERT has withdrawn its newly released Class 8 Social Science textbook after objections were raised over a section discussing corruption in the judiciary. (26:00) Hosted by Ichha Sharma Produced and written by Shashank Bhargava and Ichha Sharma Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
