First came the notes ban - Prime Minister Narendra Modi's ambitious move to scrap 500 and 1,000-rupee notes to curb corruption and black money - and now, across the country, raids are in progress as crores in new currency is tumbling out. Many are asking how are these cash hoards possible, given that banks and ATMs seem consistently short of cash? This week, we report on the multiple devious ways in which crores of hoarded cash may have found its way back into the system, and how the raids and seizures may only be the tip of the iceberg.

As Tamil Nadu emerges from the shock and mourning over the loss of Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, questions are now being asked as to who really controls the reins of power in the state. O Panneerselvam may have been made chief minister, but is he indeed the sole authority? The active presence of Sasikala Natarajan, Jayalalithaa's aide, and her family members during the last rites, have raised concerns about multiple power centres - concerns borne out by an NDTV investigation this week, which found serious questions on the transfer of power in Tamil Nadu.

Today marked eight years since the 26/11 attacks - one of the worst terrorist strikes in recent memory. At first, it seemed Pakistan might act against the attackers, making arrests and beginning a trial. But the 26/11 case has unravelled, its masterminds at large.
