How to pronounce the names of fishermen shot at by American Naval ship

The four fishermen who were injured (fatally or otherwise) are A Sekar, M Panduvanathan, K Mutthukannan and R Mutthumaniraj. Their names are pronounced as ay say-cur, em pahn-do-one-ah-thun (rhymes with bun), kay  moo-too (shorten both the 'oo' vowel sounds and use the soft t)-cun-nun and aar moo-too-money-rahj (rhymes with garage). In Hindi these names would read as 
ए सेकर, एम पांडुवनाथन, के मुत्तुकण्णन और आर मुत्तुमणिराज 

Avoid using the ख in Sekar and the थ in Mutthu.
