MUMBAI: With crime reporting becoming an important ingredient for all the news channels, Hindi news Channel 7 has now created an exclusive band -- Crime Band -- for its all crime shows, which will air from Monday to Friday at 10:30 pm to 11:30 pm.

From scams or financial frauds to the savagery of a love turned sour, from a look into the world of juvenile crime, an insight into the world of forensics, Channel 7 has it all, stated a statement issued by the channel.

Giraftaar, which will air from Monday and Friday at 10:30 pm, is a daily presentation of crime news in an innovative anchorless, dark and brooding film noir format. The shows like Raaz, Masoom, Deewangi will air from Monday to Firday at 11:30 pm.

The transformation of love to brutality is the central theme of the crime show Deewangi, which shows how some demented souls get obsessed with love and commit heinous crimes that border or cross the limits of sanity.

Raaz, the forensic show emphasises on how forensic science helps in nabbing the criminals and solving complex cases. Based on real life cases, the stories are re-created with the help of Central Forensic Science Laboratories (CBI Delhi) former Director Dr. V. N Sehgal.

Masoom, the juvenile crime program will air every Wednesday at 11 pm. The show charts out the murky world of adolescent crimes and presents some unnerving real life stories to the Indian television audience. Ek Aur Natwar, which will air on Thursday, has derived its name from Natwar Lal, the notorious scamster of yesteryears.

According to Channel 7 director Siddhartha Gupta, “Crime is a niche genre of its own. Crime is not just to just rape, murder, kidnapping and robberies, but a lot more. Apart from doing the regular daily crime news bulletin we also look at different aspects of crime… juvenile crimes, crimes of passion, intellectual frauds, forensic science usage in crime etc. Through this bouquet of five new crime shows, Channel 7 is giving a holistic perspective on every aspect of crime.”
