Government ban
In 2007, the Indian government banned Live India for a month for breaching the Cable Networks Regulation Act of 1995, after the channel had run a doctored sting operation, broadcasting a false report about a porn racket being run by a school teacher. The report was ruled to be fake by a high court verdict.[4][5]
