First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Varinder Bhatia about the controversy surrounding Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann after the Akal Takht’s verdict on an alleged video, the subsequent police investigation into forged forensic reports, and where the case goes from here.

Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Maulshree Seth about the widening investigation into the alleged theft of donations at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, which has now expanded beyond missing cash to questions about recruitment, security, financial oversight, and the functioning of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust.

And in the end, we look at what is driving the intense spell of rain across western and central India after the season’s first low-pressure system formed over the Bay of Bengal, triggering landslides, flooding, and multiple deaths. (24:30)
