Zee News’ crime special ‘Andha Kanoon’ debuts on 26 November
MUMBAI: Crime sells! And that seems so true about the news channels, who have been, off late, competing with each other to launch crime based shows. Latest is that Zee News will be launching a new series Andha Kanoon, which talks about the loopholes in the legal system.
Starting Friday, 26 November 2004 at 8:30 pm, Andha Kanoon will bring some harassment cases, where general public are being harrased by legal experts, into lime light.
Taking on the big guns, Zee News claims that it will keep a close watch on government, police and judiciary, responsible for the peaceful existence of the citizens of India.
Speaking on the judiciary system Zee News group director Laxmi N Goel, as quoted in a company release said, “Zee News is taking every possible step to create awareness the loopholes in the legal system, due to which people are suffering. Andha Kanoon will bring out several such cases, where people are being harassed during a course of the judicial system.”
“Andha Kanoon is a reality show, which aims to reveal the anguish of the victims and bring a revolution in the society to amend certain existing judicial procedures that bring disgrace to the entire judicial system. The programme will take up the issues one by one and propose the solutions respectively,” Goel added.
The programme will deal specifically with bizarre and shocking cases from the records of judiciary, where instead of delivering justice, gross injustices have been recorded in the name of law and justice. All this will be shown through a detailed dramatisation of real life cases of those who suffered, how several laws have become the epitome of crime in the society, how these laws are being misused and why they must be amended for the betterment of society, adds the release.

Kamlesh Singh receives Haldi Ghati Award from MMCF
India Today Group editor honoured for three decades of journalism at Udaipur ceremony.
MUMBAI- Kamlesh Singh just turned a lifetime of sharp words into a shiny shield because when journalism wakes up a society, even the Maharana of Mewar wants to pin a medal on it.
The Maharana of Mewar Charitable Foundation (MMCF) conferred its prestigious Haldi Ghati Award on Kamlesh Singh, a senior editor at the India Today Group, during a ceremony in Udaipur on 15 March 2026. The national award, instituted in 1981-82, recognises “work of permanent value that initiates an awakening in society through the medium of journalism.”
Singh, who leads several editorial initiatives including Aaj Tak Radio, the Teen Taal community and The Lallantop, was presented the honour by Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, Managing Trustee of MMCF. The citation highlighted his three decades of contributions to Indian media, innovations in digital journalism, mentoring young reporters, and his popular podcast persona “Tau” on Teen Taal, which fosters thoughtful public discourse.
The Haldi Ghati Award, named after the historic Battle of Haldighati symbolising valour and resilience, is one of four national awards given annually by MMCF. Past recipients include Tavleen Singh, Piyush Pandey and Raj Chengappa.
Other honourees this year included Padma Vibhushan Pt Hari Prasad Chaurasia, Vedamurti Devvrat Rekhe, Treeman of India Marimuthu Yoganathan, Vir Chakra Capt Rizwan Malik, and US-based researcher Molly Emma Aitken, who received the Colonel James Tod Award for contributions to understanding Mewar’s spirit and values.
In an era where headlines often shout louder than substance, the MMCF quietly reminded everyone that real journalism isn’t about noise, it’s about the quiet, persistent work that stirs society awake, one thoughtful story at a time.
