Multiple British families who lost loved ones in the recent Air India plane crash have been sent the wrong remains, with some caskets containing the commingled remains of more than one victim.
DNA testing revealed the mix-ups, forcing some families to cancel funerals and endure further trauma on top of their loss. The incident has sparked outrage and calls for accountability, with families and lawyers describing the situation as a 'double psychological trauma.' The Indian government has responded by insisting all remains were handled with professionalism and is working with UK authorities to address the concerns.
The mishandling has raised serious questions about international disaster victim identification protocols and the repatriation process.
