IBN7 to investigate weekly in ‘Tehqiqat’
MUMBAI: IBN7 has launched a weekly investigative show Tehqiqat. Starting 16 November every Sunday at 10 pm, the show will focus on a big event or happening of the week or a special story and tie all the loose ends to draw a final picture.
Tehqiqat will not only showcase crime related stories, but will also span over a wide range of other themes like crime, politics, violence, social stigma, odd religious practice.
The show aims at probing deep into these topics and takes a closer look at facts that were either undiscovered or ignored earlier. The show is an attempt to make people aware about unsolved mysteries, common man’s issues, false taboos, wired truth, frenzyness, malpractices, scams, wastage, negligence, miracles, fake gurus and many such traps that people get into.
Said IBN7 managing editor Ashutosh, “Tehqiqat is an attempt by IBN7 to uncover the truth behind many issues that are affecting the society but seldom get spoken about. The show will put various malpractices of society under the scanner with topics varying from religion, politics to crime and many more”.

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.
