Information and Broadcasting Department raids Telenet’s office in Tripureshwor

KATHMANDU: The Department of Information and Broadcasting under the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology carried out a raid at the office of Telenet in Tripureshwor on Friday.

It has been learnt that the Telenet has been broadcasting foreign programmes illegally in Nepal.

The operators of the Telenet were not in the office when the Department raided the office this afternoon.

During the raid, the team questioned some of the staffers of the Telenet on what basis the company has been broadcasting Alt Balaji and SonyLiv content in Nepal. They also demanded the license to broadcast in Nepal.

After the company could not produce any of the documents, the team asked the operators to produce themselves in the Department on Sunday.
