They are joined by investigative journalist M Rajshekhar, who has looked into Vantara’s formation, investigating deep into the problems in law, compliance, and more. In the second part of the discussion, the panel weighs in on the allegations of sexual misconduct against Palakkad MLA Rahul Mamkootathil. The hosts are joined by journalists KK Shahina and Sukanya Shaji.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Audio Timecodes&nbsp;</strong></p><p>00:00:00- Introductions</p><p>00:01:27 - Support TNM&nbsp;</p><p>00:02:52 - Headlines&nbsp;</p><p>00:08:05 - Dharmasthala Case</p><p>00:13:25 - Vantara&nbsp;</p><p>00:41:53- Rahul Mamkootathil allegations</p><p>01:11:25 - Recommendations&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Read Nidhi Suresh's Story: <a href=\"https://www.thenewsminute.com/kerala/against-gods-men-a-nun-a-bishop-and-the-trial-of-indias-catholic-church\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Against God’s men: A nun, a bishop, and the trial of India’s Catholic Church </a></p><p><br></p><p><em>Once a month, we will invite one TNM subscriber to the show.
