Avdhesh reported on the nexus of middlemen and Delhi police officials allegedly facilitating the plying of illegal vehicles in the capital. He explains the workings of the network and the organised crime happening in broad daylight. 

He also reported on how Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was stopped from going to Sambhal, where clashes over a mosque’s survey killed five locals. He gave a blow-by-blow account of the aftermath of the Sambhal violence.
