Multiple British families who lost loved ones in the recent Air India plane crash have been sent the wrong remains, with reports of misidentified bodies and even commingled remains in single caskets.
DNA testing revealed that at least two families received remains that did not belong to their relatives, causing immense distress and forcing some to cancel funeral plans. The Indian government has responded by stating that all remains were handled with professionalism and that they are working closely with UK authorities to address the concerns. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for accountability, as families grapple with the double trauma of losing loved ones and not being able to properly lay them to rest.
The mishandling has raised serious questions about the identification and repatriation process following international disasters.
