Jamim Shah (Nepali: जमिम शाह) (1963–2010) was a Nepalese media entrepreneur and the chairman of Channel Nepal Pvt.

Two days before the launch, the Ministry of Information and Communication told the Space and Time company it had an incomplete test of its equipment.

The satellite license was important to Shah because with it, Channel Nepal would be beamed to 52 countries in Asia.

[6] He was accused of being a henchman of Dawood Ibrahim and Pakistani Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency, which he denied,[1][7] and was blamed for using his television channel to whip up anti-India violence.

[10][11] Jamim Shah was gunned down by two assailants on motorcycles near the French embassy on 7 February 2010 in Kathmandu.

Shah was accused of having ties to both a major Indian crime syndicate and to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency.

[14][15] The police linked Shah while alive to the Indian underworld including Dawood Ibrahim, India's most wanted.

India's underworld don Bhagwant Singh, alias Bharat Nepali, confessed to Jamim Shah's death.

[31] Since Jamim Shah was conducting business in the Indian subcontinent, it was believed early on that his murder had something to do with conflict between India and Pakistan.

[32] Before Shah's murder, Uma Singh, a reporter for Radio Today FM, was hacked to death in her own home.

[38][39][40][41] Sources say that the Indian prime minister's powerful security adviser, Brajesh Mishra, allowed Jamin Shah to go on air.
