Former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, who died in the recent Air India Flight 171 crash in Ahmedabad, will be cremated today in Rajkot with full state honours. His body was identified through DNA testing, three days after the tragedy that claimed 241 lives, leaving only one survivor. The state government has deployed special teams to assist grieving families during the ongoing identification and handover process.

In the tragic aftermath of the June 12 Air India crash in Ahmedabad, authorities have identified 32 victims so far, with 14 bodies already returned to grieving families. The Air India 787-8 Dreamliner, bound for London, crashed shortly after takeoff, killing most of the 242 people onboard. DNA identification continues for remaining victims, as officials work round-the-clock to ensure a dignified return of bodies to their loved ones.
