Deaths, Debris, DNA: Race To Identify Victims

With DNA profiling of nine victims of Air India crash complete, the hospital authorities in Ahmedabad have handed over the bodies to the families. As per protocol, bodies are being released only after complete DNA verification and legal paperwork. Earlier, eight victims, who were identified by their relatives and did not need DNA profiling as their bodies were not damaged, had been handed over to their families by the hospital. Doctors have said that around 270 bodies have been brought to the hospital from the air crash site so far
