Not replaceable with

Other information The image's inclusion in the article is important because:

- It illustrates the content discussed in the article.
- Only news cameras captured this moment, so a free alternative could not be found or created. The image is used for an understanding of the NSG assault that text alone could not provide.
- The image is being used solely for informational purposes only.
- The image is a low resolution screen grab from a video and therefore does not affect any market since higher quality, better angles are available in video format.
- The image is of historic importance, with great public praise being bestowed on the Commandos for their action.
- Havaldar Gajender Singh is one of the men who fast-roped down the helicopter and could very likely be in this image. Since he died in the assault, that would make this irreplaceable.
- The only instance in thee entire operation when the NSG commandos were in such plain view of the public during the counter-terrorist operation. The other raids were inside the hotels.
- The image is of an historic event of great significance that would never occur again, and therefore cannot be replaced with free media.
