ANGLES OF NEWS STORY ---

Angle 1- Aftab Poonawalla 

Aftab, who is accused of the crime, claims to have acted in the heat of the moment. He has promised to cooperate with the police.

Angle 2 - Vikas Walkar (Victim's father)

He had filed a missing person complaint with the Mumbai police at Manikpur Police Station. He did not approve of Shraddha's staying with Aftab.

Angle 3 - Ram Kadam (BJP legislator)

He wrote a letter to Delhi police, urging them to probe into the possible "Love Jihad" angle behind the murder

WRITING STYLE\BROADCAST STYLE ---

The newspapers covering the story narrate it in a formal, informative manner. They put out all the facts and information that they have collected and express it in a simple, comprehendable way. Judging from the severity of the case, the prefered approach is to be short and precise.

Similarly, in broadcast media, the reports only give out accurate data and facts and refrain from referring to any fabricated information. They talk in an even, informative tone and try to be as objective as possible.

LAYOUT ---

The case, being as gruesome as it is, is not given a lot of space in newspapers. They only breifly mention the situation, what happened, to whom, where, by whom, how etc. The news is covered completely professionally and journalists do not alow emotions to get in the way of reporting the matter. They only present what exists and nothing else.
