Indian Opinion Analysis
Uniform coverage. Both outlets report B.P. Singh's death from a heart attack, his creation of 'C.I.D' and 'Aahat', and the tribute from filmmaker Ashoke Pandit, who confirms the funeral on 28 October. Times Now adds that Singh played DCP Chitrole in the show and that the 'C.I.D' family had not yet responded, Orissa Post omits those details but specifies his full name Brijendra Pal Singh. Neither outlet introduces any slant, criticism, or editorial comment. The shared wire-like tone and identical quotes make this straight obituary reporting. The concrete next step is the funeral on Wednesday, 28 October, as stated by Ashoke Pandit.
