'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' (TMKOC) in its ongoing story has highlighted the role of journalists and journalism for a vigilant society. Journalist or Patrakar Popatlal as he is referred to in the show is a man of high integrity and with a strongly rooted belief in his profession. So when the news of rampant hoarding, black marketing and adulteration of critical life-saving medicines starts making the rounds, he decides to investigate the matter.


Despite knowing that people involved in such criminal acts are dangerous, he decides to conduct a sting operation to identify the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
