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

News18 India launches Command Centre war explainer with Arya
New show shifts from debates to decoding global conflicts and impacts
MUMBAI: News18 India has rolled out a new war-focused programme, Command Centre, featuring Gaurav Arya, as it looks to offer viewers a sharper, more grounded take on global conflicts amid rising tensions in West Asia.
Positioned as an “insider war room”, the show moves away from conventional panel debates and instead focuses on explaining military developments, decoding strategy and connecting global events to their everyday impact, from fuel prices to economic shifts.
The format leans heavily on visuals and data. The studio has been designed like a command hub, complete with large LED war maps, real-time graphics and an alert system to track developments as they unfold.
At the centre of it all is Arya, who brings his military background to simplify complex war strategies for viewers. His signature line, “Seedhi baat samjhiye”, anchors the show’s promise of clarity over noise.
News18 India managing editor Jyoti Kamal said, “Command Centre, featuring Major Gaurav Arya is designed to deliver accurate insights and a clear perspective on how evolving conflicts impact everyday life, from household budgets to national security. With expert voices analysing every development in real time, the show goes beyond headlines to decode what’s happening now, what it means, and what could come next.”
Echoing the intent, Gaurav Arya added, “In times of war, confusion is the biggest threat. With News18 India’s Command Centre, we are bringing viewers inside the war room, decoding strategies, tracking every escalation, and explaining, in the simplest terms, what it means for India and for every household. Seedhi baat samjhiye, this is where you understand not just what is happening, but what happens next.”
The weekday show will air in the afternoon slot and will also feature Gaurav Shukla, adding to its editorial depth.
With its mix of analysis, visuals and a clear focus on impact, the show reflects a broader shift in news consumption. Viewers are no longer just watching events unfold, they are looking to understand what those events mean for them.
