After the Air India AI-171 accident in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, the bodies have been identified and handed over to the families. Meanwhile, two victim families from Britain have claimed that they have received the wrong bodies. When the family came to know about this after the DNA test in London, one family did not cremate the body.
According to the Daily Mail report, another family has found the remains of the deceased mixed with the remains of another passenger. The victim families allege that after the accident, the DNA matching of the deceased was not done properly, due to which the wrong bodies reached the UK. According to reports, the last rites of many British citizens were performed in India itself, while the bodies of 12 passengers were sent to Britain.

On this matter, Indian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that we have seen this report and we are working closely with the British side. He said, "After the tragic accident in Ahmedabad, the concerned authorities had identified the victims as per protocol and technical requirements. All the bodies were handled in a very professional manner and with full care of the dignity of the deceased. We continue to work closely with the British authorities to address any concerns related to this issue."
