Kathmandu. The families of the victims of the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad have claimed that they are shocked. The family lawyers of those killed in the accident claimed that the victim’s family got the wrong body.
Lawyers representing the families of the victims in London said the remains were misidentified and sent to britain.
Testing of bodies again in London
According to the lawyers, this was revealed when the coroner in London, the officer investigating the victims of the accident, tried to verify the identity of the remains of the dead by combining the DNA. Lawyers say one family had to cancel the funeral of the deceased. Because the coroner told them that the coffin did not contain the body of their family member but belonged to an unknown person. ’
Another victim’s family found the remains of their family members mixed with the remains of another passenger. The remains of both were kept in the same coffin. The family had to separate the remains of the two passengers before cremating the deceased.
Unidentified body not cremated yet
Lawyers say families are “deeply saddened” by the wrong remains. One family realised that they had found the wrong remains of the body, after which there was no one left to bury the body. According to lawyers, we are working to establish a series of incidents on how the passenger’s body was recovered and identified after the Ahmedabad accident.
Lawyers confirmed that an investigation has been sought into the matter. Families are represented by London-based law firm Keystone Law. The families of the victims have alleged that the process of dna adjustment of the deceased after the accident was not done properly. As a result, the wrong bodies have reached Britain.
Bodies identified by combining DNA
Soon after the tragic plane crash in Ahmedabad on June 12, a very difficult rescue operation led by ahmedabad police, fire department and SDRF was started. Sniffer dogs and advanced equipment were used for the rescue. Local people also participated in this work. So that help can be provided to the victim as soon as possible.
An Air India Boeing Dimliner aircraft flying from Ahmedabad to London crashed into the ground minutes after take-off. Of the 242 passengers on board, only one survived. A total of 260 people died in this accident. There were 169 Indians, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese nationals and one Canadian on board.
The plane crashed into a medical hostel building before falling to the ground. As a result, some people present in the building and surrounding areas were also injured. As soon as it fell to the ground, the plane became a ball of fire and most of the bodies were badly burnt. As a result, DNA samples were taken to identify the victims’ families. – Agency
