ABP News is set to raise the bar for investigative journalism on Indian television with the premiere of its latest show, ‘Special Task’, hosted by acclaimed journalist Jagwinder Patial. The show is scheduled to launch on August 2 and will air every Saturday at 8 PM, delivering powerful stories that cut through the noise and spotlight the struggles of everyday Indians.

With a commitment to fearless, ground-level reporting, ‘Special Task’ goes beyond traditional news coverage to explore underreported issues, institutional lapses, and stories that rarely make headlines. The series promises to dig deep into societal blind spots and hold powerful institutions accountable. According to ABP News, the show has been crafted to provoke thought, trigger national dialogue, and inspire change through raw and authentic storytelling.

This compelling new series will debut with ‘Operation Beta’, a three-part investigative arc comprising hour-long episodes that delve into some of the most pressing yet overlooked challenges faced by citizens. Each episode is built around on-the-ground investigations, revealing narratives that challenge the status quo and bring uncomfortable truths to the surface.

At the helm of the series is Jagwinder Patial, one of India’s most respected investigative journalists. With over 27 years in the field, Patial has reported from conflict zones, natural disasters, and volatile political situations across the country. His fearless pursuit of the truth has earned him several prestigious honours, including the Ram Nath Goenka Award for Excellence in Journalism and the Balraj Sahni National Award.

“Special Task isn’t just another show. It’s a mission to expose what’s hidden and speak up for those silenced. This is journalism that digs deep, asks the tough questions, and demands answers,” said Patial, speaking ahead of the launch.

ABP News, known for its wide national reach and commitment to impactful programming, believes Special Task will redefine how audiences engage with news-based content. With its unique blend of investigative grit and powerful human stories, the series is designed to resonate with a wide spectrum of viewers who are looking for substance in an age of soundbites.

Special Task aims to act as a catalyst for awareness and accountability, spotlighting stories from the margins and giving a platform to those whose voices are often drowned out in mainstream narratives.

Tune in to ABP News every Saturday at 8pm, starting August 2, to catch ‘Special Task’ — where journalism meets courage.
