Kuvaus

On Valentine's Day, pledge your heart. On this edition of The Buck Stops Here, we talk about organ donation. Five lakh people in India die every year because of the non-availability of organs. The rate of organ donation in India is just 0.5 donors per 10 lakh people as per 2013 data. Everyone can save up to seven lives by donating organs. At any given time, there are eight to 10 brain-dead potential donors in intensive care units of any major city. On the show, we look at how laws in the country have changed and how, with this, there is a real chance at change.

How Did Rs 11,300 Crore PNB Fraud Remain Undetected?

It's being called the biggest bank scam in India's history. More than Rs 11,000 crore was siphoned from one of India's biggest banks - Punjab National Bank - allegedly by one of India's richest men Nirav Modi and his family-run businesses. How, over a period of years, were firms associated with the diamond trader systematically given Letters of Undertaking without any permissions that enabled them to get foreign exchange from the branches of Indian banks abroad? Where was the system of checks and balances? How did this happen under the nose of the bank and that of the RBI? Who is responsible and just where and how is all this money going to come back into the system? On The Buck Stops Here, we ask how were Nirav Modi and his family members allowed to escape? Were they being protected and if so, by who?
