Jamim Shah, president of Channel Nepal and Space Time Network, was shot dead by two unknown gunmen Sunday afternoon.
Shah was gunned down in front of the French Embassy in Lazimpat at 2:30pm, when two masked men on motorbikes fired at his car.
Shah was taken to Teaching Hospital in Maharajgunj with three shots in his chest and head, but died during treatment an hour later.
His driver sustained bullet injuries on his left leg.
Shah founded the first television cable network in Nepal, Space Time Network, and used to run two newspapers – Space Time and Space Time Today – before they folded. He was also the president of Channel Nepal, first private television company.

Arthur: Are the same old dude DK who used to defend Maoists in other forums under different names.
In India, why are there more Pakistani investors work in movie industry? Where is a clue. Everyone knows that Pakistan is center of drug trafficking among the South Asian Countries. Pakistani Embassy “Employees” has a huge share in running fake indian currency. I am quite sure that Pakistani Embassy “employee” in nepal uses diplomatic priveleges to bring the packets unchecked by Nepali custom officials and passes these packets to India and elsewhere. In the similar front, Pakistani drug lords invest huge money in bogus hindi movies that never run theatre in full capacity. But, with the help of local cinema owners they turn the tickets in full house mode. Thus turn the movie into a great success in paper and infront of Tax Officer. That can turn black money into white money. The same story is said to apply with the cable industry. We have lately seen another media tycoon son of Minister Ansari caught red handed involved in such crimes. Many people in Nepal still suspect that Jamim Shah might have similar link to Pakistani Drug lords via Pakistani Embassy Officials and the drug lords in India operating with the help Pakistani Nationals. The way JAmim Shah was killed clearly makes us the rumors running for more than a decade might be true. I don’t think that NepaliTimes has a gut to investigate on this facet of the issue. I am sorry for the untimely death of an individual, but I would like to know whether there is a war between two rival factions of drug traffickers and black marketers. It is the job of journalits, not mine.
Birendra sha and then Jamim Sha and then… Prachanda Shah in the list of RAW. Nepali Times is also RAW’s agent, so it will not publish this comment! What a pityfull Nepal!
@CyberLekali,
Your comment lacks credibility in the sense that you totally remain silent about RAW activities in Nepal. You could be correct but in the same vein do not underestimate the evil motives of RAW agents lurking in the alleys of Kathmandu. I see the threat of RAW more imminent than ISI in Nepali context, including the above headlines.
jamim shah did worked for indian dawood ibrahim. his mysterious murder has the rivalry between to dons who rock india: dawood ibrahim and chhota rajan. chhota rajan actually worked for dawood ibrahim in the beginning of his rise. he was in fact the righ hand o dawood ibrahim. but the anti hindu sentiment of muslim dawood soo n pissed hindu minority chhota rajan. the misunderstandings between two soon led chhota rajan to abandon dawood’s gang known as d- company. he took a fraction of dawood’s people and soon started his own gang which after series of murders extortions and other crime became a feared gang in india. in order to maintain the monopoly in gang world. dawood now started to attack on chhota’s gang and looked for ways to stop his rise. dawood’s person even attacked chhota in a hotel on bankok. his body guard was killed but he managed to escape by jumping off the hotel roof. he was injured and was hospitalized. it was chhota’s turn to seek revenge now. he sent his people to kill dawood’s people in mumbai.dawoo was not much bothered by this act untill chhota manage to kill sharad shetty, chhota’s chief financial incharge . all of the dawood’s businesses woere looked after by him and dawood had no clue about his business. his death left dawood financial ly crippled and soon his power started to wane. now chhota slowly started to take over his monopoly by killing dawood’s people in different coutries like indial pakistan, dubai and even nepal. chhota even managed to kil dawood’s brother. in course of killing dawood’s people chhota arranged a plot and killed mirza dilsad beg, a one time minister of nepal and a chief agent to operate narcotic business and ISI activites in india through nepal. in the same episode of killing dawood’s people and waning is power chhota rajan designed plan to kill jameem shah, another dawood’s agent to legalise his black money by investing in white market and a popular ” media tycoon” of nepal.
The way Indian newsmedia are celebrating the murder of Jamim Shah is inviting trouble to India herself. Indian media houses are saying that Jamim Shah was a threat to India and he deserves death, kind of statements are poor and against democratic norms. Lets see some defense on Jamim Shah’s side: (a) Jamim Shah did not have security guards: If Jamim was Dawood’s man, then Dawood would have provided him some security guards. If Prachanda and other Maoists carry illegal pistols and firearms, I am wondering why Dawood’s man “Jamim” won’t carry it? I am still not convinced that Jamim Shah was a threat to India. (b) Chhota Rajan vs Dawood clash began since Dawood exploded bombs in Bombay in 1993. Chhota Rajan is hindu and he had more affection with India. I can understand it. In 2001, after 911 attack, the crime rate in NY significantly dropped for a short period of time, and it is believed that even criminals have some sense of patriotic feeling and they were devasted by the 911 attack, and they just suspended attack. In the same scenario, Chhota Rajan might have some sense going against Dawood, but the way Indian government’s RAW seems to be enjoying the back the scene killing of its target by Chhota Rajan’s people is certainly not good for India herself, in long run. Well, RAW might tip off to Chhota Rajan’s people, and these gangster might erase the most wanted people in Raw’s list, but in long run Chhota Rajan might control India’s politics. Now, I am feeling Chhota Rajan’s influence in India is like Pablo Escobar, the infamous drug lord in Colombia. Escobar killed all the political leaders who opposed his presence and method of doing biz. It is only matter of how long? India, Beware of Chhota Rajan or face the Chota Rajan turned to Chhota Raja and controlling your politics. It is just a matter of time. Once the police become instrument “informant” to Chhota Rajan’s people, and Chhota Rajan’s people take over the job of police, the police become inept to tackle the extortions, intimidation, looting, and kidnapping of people by Chhota Rajan, and Police will like Nepal’s PM Makune, will blame all the evils to Dawood and get rid of investiation, and putting the culprit in jail.
Jamim is gone and we will never know who Jamim was behind the scene. I am very much surprised to read the interview with Jamim by Republica people, where it is reported that Jamim did not care the 25,000 members cheating him without paying a penny, and I am wondering he does not care whether his customers pay the regular fee or not. It might give you a reason suspect that the actual profit Jamim makes might be from the biz outside his cable biz, and cable biz might be just a way to turn black money into white money. In this possible scenario, he might have a link to underground world via Pakistani Embassy Employees.
Lets keep watching. Partial truth might revolve around us in few days or months.

जमिम शाहको हत्या भारतको रअ भन्ने संगठनले गराएको हो । मानिस मर्नु वा बाँच्नु कुनै अवस्था मात्र हो । तर जमिम शाहको हत्या भारत सरकारको मानसिक हार हो । हुन सक्छ उ दाउद इब्राहिमको मान्छे होला रे र भारत दाउदका देश बिदेशमा भएका हर एजेन्ट सफाया गर्ने अभियान चलाएका होलान रे तर एउटा देशको मान मर्दन गरेर यसरी रअ ले नेपालमा आफ्नो एजेण्ट पठाएर मार्ने गर्नु र देशको प्रधान मन्त्री लगायत जानी जानी बहान खोजी खोजी यसलाई बेवास्ता गर्ने अभिनय गर्दै आउनु ले नेपालका नेताहरु नै नेपाललाई बिस्तारै बिसतारै भारतीय करणागर्न लागेका हुन भन्ने बुझ्न गार्हो पर्दैन । नेपाल बाट भारतले राजा निकाल्नुको कारण भारत नेपाली जनता भन्दा बिदेशी प्रभूहरुको सेवामा तल्लिन रहने नेताहरुले गर्छन भन्ने जानेर नै हो । यस्तै तर भारतको रअ लाई अर्काको देशमा आएर यसरी नेपाल आमाको चेलो मार्ने इजाजत कसरी हुन सक्छ ? जे भने पनि यो भारतको मानसिक हार हो र जमीमको जीत हो ।
जमिम शाहको बुबाको भनाइबाट पनि प्रस्ट हुन्छ कि जमिम शाहको हत्या लाजिम्पाटको पुलिस घुस्या जड्या नालायकी कमजोरीले नै हत्या सफल भएको हो! के त्येस बेला पुलिसहरु जाड रक्सि मै मग्न थिए? गुन्डा डनको अगाडी बिकेको कारणले नै यो दुर्घटना हुन् पुगेको हो कि ? के ति गुण्डा डनहरुले लाजिम्पाटमा कुनै दुरघटना भएको खण्डमा पुलिसलाई जानु परदैएन् भनेर पहिले नै घुस रक्सि खिलाएको थियो? गुन्डा डनहरुको नाम हुलिया लाजिमपाट पुलिसले इमान्दारी बफादारी साथ खुलासा गर्नु पर्यो! एकै छिनको डान्स बारको रुमझमले पुलिसको जागिर पनि गयो!पुरै पुलिस कै बेइजती गरे! त्यो पुलिशहरुको लाजिमपाटमा को को संग दोस्ती समंध छ? को को संग संगै खाने घुम्ने समंध छ? को को थानामा आएर बात मार्छ? लाजिम्पाटमा हत्या कै समयमा केहिले त्येस बेला घरहरु को पसल झ्याल नै बन्द गरेका थिये?
त्येस बारेमा नेपाल सरकारले पनि छानबिन गर्नु पर्यो!
