Multiple British families who lost loved ones in the recent Air India plane crash have reported receiving the wrong remains, with some caskets containing the remains of more than one person.
DNA testing revealed misidentification and commingling of bodies, leading to immense distress and cancelled funerals. Lawyers representing the families have called the situation a 'double psychological trauma' and criticized the handling of the repatriation process. 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 and improved protocols in the handling of disaster victim identification.
