The Department invoked the law that regulates the cable television, which allows him to suspend the emission of a channel in interest of the "public, the decency or the morality" since, according to a bulletin quoted by the Indian agency PTI, "the operation was slanderous, deliberate, false and with half truths".

A few weeks ago Live India "uncovered" the case of teacher of mathematics of a feminine school in Old Delhi that supposedly had blackmailed the pupils so that prostituyeran.

After these accusations of the television network, the teacher almost was detained and lynched, but the court in charge of the case determined later that the reportage was false and that the teacher was "a victim" of the assembly, as he informed the chain NDTV.

"The transmission was criticizing, defaming and was slandering a person and was denigrating the girls and it was expressed irresponsibly by the channel without carrying out the necessary cross-checks", he affirmed the Department in his bulletin.

Also, the channel might be penalized for India had changed his name of Janmat into Live without obtaining the corresponding permission of the Department of Information.
