Syed Suhail | Cyclone Arnab | Badrinath Helicopter Crash में मरने वाले कौन?

Photographs, names and hometowns fill the studio screen as anchor Syed Suhail identifies the six people reported killed in a helicopter crash near Badrinath. The bulletin, from India's Hindi-language news channel NDTV India, focuses on those aboard rather than the circumstances of the crash.

Suhail names the pilot as Captain Himanshu Sabharwal, 48, from Delhi. The passengers identified in the report are Pratap Bachihalli Nataraj, 41, from Bengaluru; Shankar Gowda, 41, described as an advocate at the Karnataka State Bar Council; and Sudhir K., 49, also from Bengaluru.

The final profile cards identify H. S. Nataraj, 51, from Tumakuru, and Arun Salunke, 44, from Bengaluru. All five passengers were from Karnataka, in southern India, according to the bulletin.

Although the upload's title also mentions Cyclone Arnab, this segment is a victim-identification report. Suhail does not give a cause for the crash or connect it to the storm.
