Television executive shot to death in Nepal

February 11, 2010 By Northwest Asian Weekly

KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) — A television executive who owned Nepal’s first cable TV company was shot to death in a busy neighborhood in the country’s capital on Feb. 7, police said.

Jamin Shah was gunned down by two men on a motorcycle who targeted his car on a busy road. The men escaped after firing at Shah and his driver, said police official Bigyan Sharma.

Shah was rushed to the hospital, where he later died. He had been shot in the chest. Shah’s driver was being treated for leg injuries.

Shah owned Channel Nepal, a cable news channel, and Space Time Networks, the country’s first cable television company. He briefly operated daily newspapers in both English and Nepali, which he shut down for financial reasons.

Police said they had no suspects in the killing. ♦
