Delete as WP:HOAX. Well, there is no Asha News TV channel and "Asha News" almost surely does not exist as a news organization. The website is simply a mock-up likely based on some older version of Aaj Tak's wesbite, and probably created to illustrate the web-development skills of Piushtrivedi, who created this article, and several others, about "news organizations" that he supposedly runs. Note that the only cited source smsnews.live is another website developed by "Sai Web Solutions" also run by the same person. Look also at these previous AFDs and at the user's deleted contributions especially this version of his userpage.
This is G3/G11 speedy-able but I am filing this AFD to record the evidence because the user is known to recreate deleted articles and likely has used sock/meatpuppets such as Matangidarshan (talk · contribs). Abecedare (talk) 08:58, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
