Summary
First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Nihal Koshie about Indian athletics’ remarkable run of performances, with more than 20 national records broken in just over three months, and how changes in coaching, competition, and training are reshaping the sport. Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Amitabh Sinha about Europe’s latest heatwave, why scientists say climate change is making such extreme temperatures more likely, and how a new attribution study helps establish that link. (11:30) And in the end, we look at an East Delhi property fraud case involving forged identities, shell companies and ₹18 crore in fraudulent loans, a scam that took investigators more than a decade to piece together. (21:15) Hosted by Ichha Sharma Produced and written by Shashank Bhargava, Niharika Nanda and Ichha Sharma Edited and mixed by Suresh Pawar
