Shailesh Kumar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shailesh Kumar is a senior correspondent for STAR News.

He is a well known Crime Correspondent of India who for years have worked in RedAlert and Sansani, the best known crime programs existing in India. He covered many crime issues in India for the first time in RedAlert. He is better known for his investigative reporting. If he does a story, its dead sure that some action mst follow by the authorites.

A post graduate in Science from Dayalbagh (deemed) university left Research and Fellowship to become Journalist. But this Journalist is badly attributed for initiating Super Natural Programming on Hindi News Channels. His story "BhootBangla: KC 19- Darna Mana Hai" showered him with praises and curse. He had a great stint at BAG Flms the then production house, now a full-fledged News 24 channel. Media criticised him severely when a Don was killed following his episode "Gangster" in RedAlert. But actually, He has nothing to do with this encounter as he just reported the matter.

Shailesh, as far as I know him, is shy and do not brag much. He initiated woman oriented programs and stories on News Channel. He was the first on television for covering fradulent NRI husbands in Punjab. Thousands of girls have become victim of these messangers of development. They come here in India, have holiday honeymoon; and run away with the big booty of dowry leaving pregnant wives back in India. There have been much work on the issue in the last four years, since the time he raised the issue. Then he also exposed marriage bureaus cheating gullible youths on pretext of sending them abroad after marrying them off to NRIs. Youths are thankful to him for having been exposed human traffickers from MP and Punjab. His work is more audacious but alas his potential is not fully utilized, it seems.
