Banning telegram channels from groups as a bot - Stack Overflow

I have a bot that needs to warn and ban users in a group. But I cannot ban them if someone writes as a channel. I want to ban the channel, not the owner

message.from_user returns a fallback value, which points to @Channel_Bot for backwards compatibility. I kept identifying the wrong user Is there a correct way of identifying such users?
