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.

At least 274 people, including passengers, crew, and local residents, died after an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner crashed into a residential complex in Ahmedabad seconds after takeoff. The lone survivor is an Indian-origin British national. Investigations are underway after the aircraft's black box was recovered.
