Lightlord's Journal: India bans media channel for fake report on individual

Delhi teacher Uma Khurana was accused of forcing students into prostitution. As the "sting" came out in LiveIndia news channel, riots broke out in the city and a mob attacked the school at which Ms. Khurana worked. She also spent 10 days in prison. A police investigation later revealed the sting had been faked and the teacher falsely accused. The teacher has been reinstated and the undercover journalist, Prakash Singh, who made the report has been arrested. India's Broadcasting Ministry said the report on Live India had been "defamatory, deliberate and false". Live India is the first news channel to be banned in India. The station says it was misled by its reporter. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7005185.stm
