Families Of 2 Air India Crash Victims In UK Claim Received Wrong Bodies
The families of two Air India crash victims in the United Kingdom have alleged that the bodies repatriated to them were misidentified, according to a lawyer representing them. DNA testing conducted on the repatriated remains has allegedly revealed discrepancies in at least two caskets, as the DNA does not match that of the victims' families.
According to James Healy, the lawyer representing the British families, 12 to 13 sets of human remains were repatriated to the United Kingdom after the June 12 crash of Air India flight AI171 in Ahmedabad. Of those, two families were informed, following DNA analysis, that the remains they received were not those of their relatives.
