Content

The Sunday Guardian has been regularly investigating and breaking stories.[citation needed] It was the first to report about the controversy surrounding the allotment of coal blocks in November 2011.[10] The news item "CBI did not probe fodder allegations against Bihar CM" (29 September 2013) was picked up by other media outlets and created a stir in Patna[citation needed].[11]

This newspaper was the first to report that there existed a note by the National Investigation Agency saying that Lashkar-e-Tayyiba terrorist David Headley had mentioned Ishrat Jahan’s name as an LeT terrorist.[12] A few other widely discussed news reports include Congress chalks out anyone but Modi strategy (5 January 2014),[13] "PMO unconcerned about scientist deaths" (26 October 2013),[14] "Ragging, harassment a ‘tradition’ at Naval Academy" (19 May 2013).[15]
