Description: First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Sukrita Baruah about the upcoming Assam Assembly Election, where the BJP-led alliance is seeking another term on the back of welfare schemes and political consolidation, while the Congress attempts to rebuild its position amid internal challenges.

Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Varinder Bhatia about a series of financial frauds across Chandigarh and Haryana, where investigators say a common template was used to siphon off government funds through multiple banks, exposing systemic loopholes. (17:40)

And in the end, we look at a case from Jammu that has drawn attention to alleged recruitment rackets sending young men into the Russia-Ukraine War, after a 24-year-old from the region died on the frontlines under unclear circumstances. (27:35)
