Air India crash: Protocols followed, says MEA after report claims British victims' remains bungled

A day after a report in the British tabloid Daily Mail alleged that two families in the United Kingdom received wrongly identified mortal remains of the victims of the June 12 Air India crash, India's Ministry of External Affairs said that all established protocols were followed. The Daily Mail reported on Tuesday that the relatives of one victim had to abandon plans for a funeral after being told that their coffin contained the body of an unknown passenger. In another case, a family claimed to have received a casket with the 'commingled' remains of multiple persons. The mix-up came to light when a coroner sought to verify the identities of the victims by matching their DNA samples with those provided by their families. 'Some have got the wrong remains and they are clearly distraught over this,' the Daily Mail quoted James Healy-Pratt, an aviation lawyer representing some of the relatives of those who died, as saying. 'It has been going on for a couple of weeks [and] I think these families deserve an explanation.' In response to the report, Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that the government has been working with authorities in the United Kingdom 'from the moment these concerns and issues were brought to our attention'. The spokesperson added: 'All mortal remains were handled with utmost professionalism and with due regard for the dignity of the deceased.' The foreign ministry said that identification of victims was carried out 'as per established protocols and technical requirements'. Our response to media queries regarding a report in the Daily Mail on the Air India crash⬇️ 🔗 — Randhir Jaiswal (@MEAIndia) July 23, 2025 Two hundred and forty-two persons were aboard the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft – enroute to London's Gatwick airport from Ahmedabad – that crashed just 33 seconds after taking off on June 12. Only one passenger survived with ' impact injuries '. The aircraft's crash into the hostel building of the BJ Medical College also killed at least 34 persons on the ground. This is being viewed as the world's worst aviation disaster in a decade.

How the 2006 Mumbai train blasts case was cracked

(NOTE: This article was originally published in the India Today issue dated October 16, 2006)They could have been just another group of young men travelling from the dust bowls of Bihar, seeking respite from the darkness of poverty and pursuing a dream of prosperity. The dark night of June 25 provided the perfect setting, camouflaging the motive of two men from across the border who boarded the train from Patna. A tall, hefty Kamal Ahmed Ansari escorted the two inconspicuous passengers into a seemingly unknown territory. The men didn't exchange words for two days in the Mumbai-bound train and melted into the populated suburbs as soon as they and his wards, though, were only a part of the big team. By the time they reached Mumbai, the entire team of 11 Pakistanis-who had sneaked through the porous border- was in place. So was the Indian contingent. Seven two-member teams with one Indian and a Pakistani were formed for the operation Terror, you could say, had arrived in Mumbai. It had taken the group three months-from one fateful rainy night in Bahawalpur, Pakistan, in March 2006-to plan and execute an attack that shook the commercial capital and shocked the country yet to Lashkar-e-Taiba's (LeT) India commander Azam Cheema's palatial house in Bahawalpur, Pakistan, where he was playing host. It was the congregation of the faithful, the new converts and pilgrims to the world of terror. Like-minded or rather mindless jehadis from various parts of the world had assembled for their sermon. Sitting in a regal room were the Indian visitors who had reached his place via Bangladesh, Nepal and Iran. The air was thick with idealism. One cue from Cheema was enough to kickstart another round of bloody "freedom struggle". LeT training camps at Bahawalpur were now swarming with 50 men waiting to become jehadis. Situated right in the middle of a jungle, the camp is the school for terror, which trains men in identifying, handling, firing and dismantling weapons. A major chapter involves education in making, planting and finally testing explosives in special water trainees are also taught the use of modern communications tools-from Internet to satellite phones-to effectively and efficiently carry out their intent. That night, says the police, the blueprint of a plan designed by the ISI and executed by the LeT was drawn. The joint force was all set to orchestrate one of the biggest carnages that Mumbai was to witness in days to come-the serial bomb blasts that killed 187 COUNTDOWN BEGINSBy July 8, the Pakistanis had already settled in the new environment in middle and lower class Muslim localities in the suburbs and Mumbra. The RDX was on its way to Mumbai. Smuggled through the Kandla port in Gujarat, it was transported by road to Mumbai. Ehsan Ullah, the dark and well-built man accompanying the most deadly contraband from Kandla port, had procured 20 kg of RDX, roughly the amount that caused the maximum casualty at Century Bazaar in 1993. Since the beginning of the year, the Maharashtra Police had seized over 400 kg of RDX, but this was one shipment that slipped the dragnet. What is worse, the police fear some other consignments too may have reached their destination and may be with sleeper the 1993 blasts, this time RDX was not the only substance used to shake up Mumbai. Dr Tanvir Ansari, a unani medicine practitioner at the Saboo Siddique hospital at Byculla, procured 20 kg of ammonium nitrate, which when mixed with RDX, increased the explosive force by a factor of three. Ammonium nitrate was procured from the quarries in Thane where the chemical is available for the well-connected. Money was no problem. Hawala payments from Saudi Arab via a techie, Rizwan Ahmed Davre, were sent to Faizal Sheikh, who is suspected to be the LeT chief of Mumbai. The Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS), which recovered 26,000 riyals (Rs 3,16,956) from Sheikh's house, estimates that over Rs 60 lakh had been sent to Faisal via hawala in two the morning of July 9, somewhere in Orissa, India was preparing to test its longest surface-to-surface nuclear-capable ballistic missile Agni III which could cover 3,000 km to strike as far as China. But the real enemy was under her nose, on her soil, all set to target the softest core, Mumbai. In a dingy one-room flat owned by Mohammed Ali (an alleged LeT operative), at Shivajinagar in Govandi, locally made Kanchan pressure cookers were filled with 2 kg of RDX and 3.5 kg of ammonium nitrate to create a lethal concoction. Once ready, the 'bombs' were transported to Sheikh's one-room tenement in upmarket Perry Cross lane in in Mumbai, it was a usual Tuesday evening on July 11. The pressure cookers were wrapped in newspapers and carried in black rexine bags. The bombers left Bandra by 4 p.m. and reached Churchgate by 5.15 p.m. Taxis from respective hideouts were abandoned at Churchgate as the groups headed for the subway. The groups emerged separately on the fast train platform numbers 3 and 4, slipping into the first-class compartment of the crowded six o'clock bags were strategically placed on luggage overheads under wet umbrellas used on rainy monsoon days. As the moment of insanity drew closer, the groups got off the respective trains at different stations. Seven bombs exploded between 6.24 p.m. to 6.35 p.m. on Matunga, Mahim, Bandra, Khar Road, Jogeshwari, Bhyander and Borivli. Barring the one bomber killed at Khar, the operation was a AND CLUELESSLike most of Mumbai, the police too was shocked at the magnitude of the attack. The first clues emerged from the tests at the forensic laboratory at Kalina when the substance used in the blasts was identified as RDX mixed with ammonium nitrate. As the sleuths worked through the night, it was clear that this was no rogue attack but a well-planned terror onslaught. Mumbai Police Commissioner A.N. Roy said a few hours after the attack, "Blasts were planned with great precision and there was no spot evidence."It was also clear that piecing together the jigsaw would be tough. The biggest hurdle was the magnitude of the tragedy. Minutes after the blast ripped the first class compartments of the seven Western Railway trains, panic-struck passengers and rains played deterrent in collecting evidence. Strewn between the remains of the train's compartments and charred bodies were going to be pieces of evidence, key to the trail that would later lead to people and places across the border. But, in those initial hours, with rain playing a farewell shower to the dead, the situation for the investigators was what Roy describes best: "It was nearly a blinder for us."advertisementThe night that followed brought into action the otherwise ignored Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS). Twenty officers, 50 constables and five dogs worked round the clock to find clinching evidence on the spot. Well into the night, the teams, wearing gloves and carrying umbrellas, split across the different blast spots and scanned through mounds of wreckage for that shred of vital first big break came from the Jogeshwari blast site where the BDDS sleuths found pressure cooker handles. The squad also traced charred pieces of aluminum lids of the cookers. Investigations by local police stations in their respective areas revealed that Kanchan pressure cookers were purchased from two shops in Santa got the first leads, ATS chief Krish Pal Singh Raghuvanshi put together a team. The team of four IPS officers and over 40 policemen worked overtime to crack the case. The arithmetic was simple: seven teams for seven blasts, assisted by two technical support teams. Intelligence was sought from IB, RAW and the state police. Raghuvanshi set the pace for the probe team. "We were humbled by our chief who himself slept for less than four hours every day for the first month," says an ATS official. The police began by detaining around 400 Muslims from across Maharashtra on grounds of suspicion. However, not a single clue led the investigators to the real culprits. It seemed to be a PHONE CALLSOn July 18, ATS intercepted telephone calls of a certain Mumtaz Choudhary of Navi Mumbai to Kamal Ahmed Ansari in Basupatti in Bihar, near Nepal border. What intrigued the investigators was the number of calls that were exchanged between the duo, and the location of Ansari, very close to the infamous Nepal border. While Choudhary's records seemed clean, it was Ansari who, according to IB, had been trained in Pakistan. A separate team of ATS officials flew to Bihar to arrest Ansari, while Choudhary was arrested from his house in Navi Mumbai. So dramatic was Ansari's arrest that an Indian Air Force aircraft was drafted to bring him to Mumbai. The other arrest was of a shoe shop owner Khalid Aziz Sheikh at Madhubani in Bihar. Ansari and other LeT operatives allegedly used the shop premises as a meeting Mumbai, another team of ATS was designated to investigate the alleged LeT leader Raheel Sheikh's involvement in the blast. He was wanted in the October 2005 blasts in Delhi. Raheel, although cornered in Mumbai, managed to escape. But a Crime Branch team cracked the connection while interrogating Pune based ex-SIMI activist Feroz Deshmukh. He revealed that Raheel had taken a loan of Rs 15,000 in May 2006 and promised him that a certain Noman would return it to him. The trail led to Noman who confirmed that he was supposed to collect the same amount from Faisal Sheikh. While the police couldn't get Raheel it managed to nab Faisal Sheikh, alleged to be closely associated with Azam Cheema, on July 27 from it turned out, is alleged to be the western India commander for LeT and one of the key players in the conspiracy. The loan loop only confirmed ATS' allegation of Raheel's links. Faisal's brother Muzzammil, was also arrested. Similarly Ehtesham Siddiqui, Maharashtra general secretary of SIMI, was arrested from Navi Mumbai after another accused Tanvir Ansari revealed that he was asked to pick up explosive substance by Siddiqui. Interestingly, investigators discovered a series of calls from a phone booth to Faisal's phone. The calls were by 25-yearold bar girl Manisha Chavan, who had been in a relationship with Faisal for 18 months. Manisha, who knew Faisal as Sameer, helped the police to identify him and corroborate their a sense the core had been cracked, but the police were careful to collect substantive evidence. This came from the narco-analysis tests of Faisal, Kamal Ansari and Siddiqui at the Forensic Sciences Laboratory at Bangalore. Although the tests could not be used as evidence against the accused, they helped the police in putting together pieces on how the blasts were carried out. The tests also confirmed that an unclaimed body from the blasts lying at the Sion hospital was that of Salim, a terrorist from Lahore who had planted one of the to Roy, the entire investigation was carried out in small logistical steps. "It has been a beautiful piece of highly professional investigation by our team," he says. Indeed scientific tests such as narco-analysis, telephone analysis and the cotton swab method to determine the presence of RDX gave the police quite a few clues. Tanvir Ansari also revealed during narco-analysis that he had guests from across the border. "Kuch mehman Pakistan se aaye the," he LINKSThe case may have been cracked but the police are yet to get answers for some vital questions. Even though the circumstantial evidence of ISI involvement through proxies and terror groups is clear, they will need conclusive evidence to make the charge of Pakistani involvement stick. Unlike the earlier bomb blast case, there have been no confessional statements as yet. The question, how the RDX came in through the Kandla port, is not the police have claimed that Abu Osama, the Pakistani national killed in an encounter at Antop Hill a few days after the blasts, was also one of the accused in the 7/11 blast case. When nine of the Pakistani accused fled the country, it is rather curious why Osama would stay back for a good 10 days before being killed in an Commissioner Roy is not perturbed by these. "We are not making any diplomatic or political statements. The accused are giving us vital information and admitting their guilt after being made aware of their repercussions. We don't have any reason to disbelieve the accused." When asked about the RDX trail, Roy said it needed to be there is more work to be done and the police hope to follow the missing links through further interrogations of those now in custody under the MCOCA. The idea is to use the law to convert any confession into evidence. Among the questions the police must be seeking answers to are how many groups have filtered through, how many modules are active and what the extent of the sleeper network in Maharashtra and elsewhere the evidence has to be credible but patching the missing links is vital not just to prove a point to Pakistan. Tying up the loose ends and the success of the investigations will be the first step towards preventing the next attack.

Kanwar Yatra felt more like siege than pilgrimage, say South Delhi residents

For residents across South Delhi, Kanwar Yatra felt less like a pilgrimage and more like a siege the past week. As the yatra peaked before culminating on Shivratri on Wednesday, neighbourhoods from Saket and Chhatarpur to Malviya Nagar, Greater Kailash, CR Park, Vasant Vihar, Ashram, and Mehrauli were brought to a standstill by kanwariyas who turned roads into open-air party zones. The Kanwar Yatra culminated on Wednesday. (ANI) What was meant to be a religious procession, residents say, quickly descended into lawlessness, marked by loud music, traffic chaos, reckless driving, and open hooliganism. 'This was not devotion. This was anarchy on two-wheelers. Young men were racing down narrow lanes, hitting cars with sticks, screaming, blocking intersections, but no one from the police even showed up,' said Anjali Raina, a resident of Kalkaji. By Monday night and through Tuesday, traffic came to a halt on multiple arterial roads as kanwariyas on motorcycles, tractors, and on foot took over both lanes. Trucks carrying massive DJ setups parked in the middle of roads while groups of devotees danced, played drums, and feasted, leaving behind heaps of waste. 'It was terrifying. A group of them started dancing, with blaring music in the middle of the road, blocking the way for us to cross. I had my children with me in the back seat. They treated the road like their private stage and dared anyone to object,' said Ashish Gupta from Khirki Extension. In parts of Saket and near Chhatarpur temple, residents said kanwariyas weaved dangerously through traffic, jumping from one bike to another, and threatening anyone who came in their way. Despite repeated complaints, enforcement remained absent or minimal. Loud music blared all night from over 25 kanwar camps in South Delhi, particularly in Sangam Vihar, Devli, and Neb Sarai, among a few other areas, violating noise regulations with impunity. Police acknowledged the challenges in enforcement, citing the religious nature of the event. 'We use electronic monitoring and issue e-challans wherever possible,' an officer said. 'But large-scale physical intervention is avoided to prevent backlash.' With Shivratri rituals concluding on Wednesday evening, the roads are expected to clear. Residents say the week has left them angry, exhausted, and disturbed by the scale of disruption allowed in the name of faith.
