U.K. families of Air India crash victims reportedly received incorrect remains.

Families of some British Air India crash victims are facing the distressing revelation that remains repatriated to the U.K. have been mistakenly identified as their loved ones. Lawyer James Healy-Pratt, representing over 20 families, informed CBS News of the errors, revealing that at least 12 British victims' remains were brought back to the U.K., with two cases of misidentification discovered. The preliminary report from India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau indicated that both engines of the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner lost thrust due to cockpit cutoff switch manipulation. Healy-Pratt highlighted the emotional turmoil experienced by families who believed they had brought back their loved ones after undergoing DNA tests in India, only to learn the remains in the casket did not belong to them. Indian officials affirmed a commitment to addressing concerns raised by U.K. authorities regarding the identification and repatriation process following the tragic crash. However, Healy-Pratt emphasized that families are seeking transparency and assurance that no further remains of British victims are misidentified or misplaced in India. Beyond repatriation, families are seeking answers on the crash cause and pursuing legal action against Air India and Boeing for accountability and safety improvements. Prime Ministers Keir Starmer and Narendra Modi are expected to address these issues in their upcoming meeting in London.
