“Ahmedabad Plane Crash Horror: 2 Heads in One Bag – Families Demand Full Remains” Ahmedabad plane-crash victims’ families are in intense grief and anger after authorities discovered two severed heads in a single body bag during recovery operations. They demand the return of full bodies, not partial remains, citing cultural, emotional, and religious needs. Authorities have halted the release of remains and ordered DNA testing to be repeated, which is expected to further delay handovers to families .
The tragedy stems from the June 12 Air India Flight 171 Boeing 787‑8 crash shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad, killing 241 people onboard and at least 38 on the ground, with only one survivor. Victim identification is progressing slowly due to the severely charred condition of many bodies, requiring both DNA and dental records, a process that has already taken days .
Grieving families, some of whom have received only partial remains, have articulated their distress:
“Give us whole body, not partial remains.” They emphasize the need for dignified last rites and closure .
Authorities promise to repeat DNA testing, improve identification procedures, and ensure that only correctly matched, complete remains are handed over, to restore trust and provide closure.
