India TV’s ‘Most Wanted’ helps nab sex racketeer Rekha Naik
MUMBAI: India TV’s Most Wanted has once again proved instrumental in nabbing the infamous alleged sex racketeer and film producer of Mumbai Rekha Naik.
On 6 February Most Wanted presented a detailed report on Rekha Naik at 9 PM in the evening, as a result of which calls came in regarding the same to the Crime Prevention control room which started receiving information about Rekha Naik from the Mumbai viewers. As soon as India TV’s crime prevention team received the information, they quickly supplied it to the crime branch of Oshiwara police station. The police conducted many raids, and at around 3 am in the morning Naik was nabbed.
The police claimed that Rekha Naik was actively involved in running a sex racket. She used to supply girls to the people from the film industry. Most of the girls were aspirant models or actors.
Rekha herself is believed to have landed in Mumbai with the hope of becoming an actor many years back. Since she was unsuccessful in her endeavour in becoming an actor, she decided to cash her contacts. She has recently produced a film called Hosh.
In the span of merely eight months India TV’s Most Wanted has enabled the police to capture more than 23 fugitives. The total tally of the programme till date traces 85 since the programme started on Zee.
India TV’s Most Wanted can be seen on India TV every Sunday at 9 PM

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
