Most channels chose to invite “friends” of Pushkar who had no qualms whatsoever in indulging in gossip and highly sensitive information which may turn out to be complete falsehoods. Even journalists who were in close contact with Pushkar (whom you would expect to be aware of the principles of covering a tragedy such as this) sang like canaries. This may be one of those rare situations that merit a pre-interview i.e. where clear boundaries are laid down on what will and will not be allowed considering the situation.
