In this explosive episode of Facts & Figures, Hemant uncovers one of India’s biggest public sector scams involving the Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL), a Maharatna company. This gripping investigation reveals how SAIL allegedly sold steel worth hundreds of crores at throwaway prices to newly formed or questionable companies—some of which are linked to political donations to the ruling party, BJP, via electoral bonds. The whistleblower, Rajeev Bhatia, a former SAIL official, exposed the Rs 800 crore scam. His reward? Suspension, forced retirement, and complete institutional silence. Through verified documents, Lokpal orders, CVC reports, and a CBI FIR, this episode outlines how companies like VIPPL and APCO Infratech allegedly received steel below market value and later donated crores to political campaigns.
