Four days after the horrific Ahmedabad plane crash, which claimed 274 lives, 99 victims have so far been identified through DNA matching and 64 bodies handed over. Also, earlier on Monday, the mortal remains of former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani were handed over to his family, officials said.

As reported by PTI, ex-Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani was among the 242 passengers and crew members on board the London-bound Air India flight AI-171. The plane crashed in Ahmedabad on 12 June 2025. His mortal remains were handed over to his wife, Anjali Rupani, and other family members at the city civil hospital.

It has also been reported that authorities are carrying out DNA tests to establish the identity of the victims, as many bodies were charred beyond recognition or severely damaged.
