Though the reporter who called in did not name the victims, Kaur learned her partner was one of the three found dead in the accident based on the incoming details of the call.

"For a moment her voice trembled, but she collected herself and carried on reading the news till the bulletin got over 10 minutes later," Ravikant Mittal, IBC24's editor-in-chief, told the Indian Express Sunday.

Mittal said Kaur broke down in tears once the broadcast concluded after she called back the reporter for more details before telling her family of her husband's death.
