Pakistan, June 16 -- AHMEDABAD - Authorities have started handing over the remains of the victims from the tragic Air India crash that killed at least 270 people, including passengers and residents on the ground. The Boeing 787 was en route to London when it crashed into a residential area in Ahmedabad just minutes after takeoff last Thursday.

Officials said the identification process has been slow due to the severe condition of the bodies, many of which were charred or mutilated. So far, 32 victims have been identified through DNA testing, and remains of 14 victims have been handed over to their families. Hundreds of relatives have submitted DNA samples in hopes of retrieving their loved ones.
