IBC-24 news anchor Supreet Kaur reads out the bulletin IBC-24

An Indian TV presenter has been praised as “extremely brave” after she reportedly read out the violating news of her husband’s death in a car accident on a 24-hour popular news channel.

Supreet Kaur read out the news bulletin after a reporter phoned in details of a fatal accident, which had killed three of the five people travelling in a Renault Duster.

The 28-year-old quickly realised her hubby was likely to be one of those killed as he was meant to travel in a Renault Duster along the same route and at the same time with four companions, the Hindustan Times reports.

A news anchor for Chhattisgarh’s IBC-24 channel for nine years, Ms Kaur kept her composure via the news bulletin.

It was only after the news hour, when she walked out of the TV studio, that she reportedly broke down.

One of her colleagues told the Indian newspaper: “She is an utterly courageous lady. We are proud of her as an anchor, but what happened today has left us in shock.”
