Over a week after 270 people were killed in the Ahmedabad plane crash, 220 victims have been identified through DNA tests and the mortal remains of 202 of them were handed over to their families, a Gujarat minister said on Friday.

A London-bound Air India flight AI-171 carrying 242 passengers and crew members crashed in Ahmedabad on June 12. All but one on board the plane died along with nearly 29 on the ground when the aircraft smashed into a medical complex in Meghaninagar area of the city shortly after its take-off.

Authorities are carrying out DNA matching to establish the identity of the victims, as several bodies were charred beyond recognition or damaged.
