Having received flak for his piece to camera while sitting on the shoulders of a flood victim in Uttarakhand, News Express reporter Narayan Pargaien explained the circumstances to Newslaundry. The flood victim whom he had helped with food and money offered to help him cross the river, while doing so he thought of the piece to camera, and the cameraman who was supposed to shoot him chest upward deliberately took a different shot and released the video.
