Talk:Channel S

Baishakhi Mela 2007 controversy

Can't find links to the Evening Standard & East London Advertiser news articles around this controversy involving Channel S. Anyone watching have any info? → AA ^{(talk • contribs)} — 22:21, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Conviction controversy

"Surprisingly, little has been commented by other Bengali TV channels on the conviction suggesting that others may have been involved." Where has this come from? Bangla TV made numerous news reports of an exaggerated nature after the conviction sparking a press war. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.12.226.248 (talk) 13:16, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mahee Jail Sentence

Why is there no mention of the Channel S Founder / Chairman's conviction and subsequent 18 month imprisonment for insurance fraud? There was a paragraph relating to this but has been removed by someone. Why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by StepUpToThePlate (talk • contribs) 10:01, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think this is a story of Bangla TV broadcasting news against Mahee during August, and causing a media row. But I never heard of him being arrested. Mohsin (talk) 13:21, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mohsin, not only was he arrested but in due course also tried and convicted, along with other accomplices, in Croydon Crown Court culminating in an 18 month jail sentence. I am not surprised that you are not well informed as their seems to be scant details about. I, myself, read about it on the City Of London Police's own website [1] Your pal Mahee is known as Mohammed Ferdaus in this instance. I don't believe that even Bangla TV could have faked this minor news event. Cheers —Preceding unsigned comment added by StepUpToThePlate (talk • contribs) 19:08, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thanks for the source, I have looked at it and it states it is Mohammad Ferdous he has been sentenced to 18 months in prison. It also states those sentenced and Mahee's details: 35, from Greenford, Middlesex, 18 months imprisonment. Are you really sure this is really Mahee or someone else ? I have not seen any news footage of this event what so ever, or heard of. Mohsin (talk) 19:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mohsin, it is the same Mahee. News footage was shown of him attending Croydon Crown Court. You will also note that the Mohammed Ferdhaus in the City Of London Website 'ran his company ‘Prestige Auto Group’ from Walthamstow'.
