Identification of Former Chief Minister
On Sunday morning at 11:10 am, DNA testing confirmed the identity of former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, three days after the devastating crash of Air India flight AI171. This tragic incident took place on June 12 when the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, operating as flight AI171, crashed shortly after departing from Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.
The aircraft was carrying 242 individuals, with only one survivor among the 241 fatalities. The plane collided with a building on the BJ Medical College campus in Meghnaninagar, Ahmedabad, just a kilometer from the runway. The subsequent explosion caused extensive damage to the hostel building, resulting in the loss of several lives, including those of MBBS students.
As of now, authorities have identified 32 bodies, with 14 of them returned to their families.
Rupani had initially planned to fly to London on May 19 but canceled that trip. He rescheduled for June 5, which was also canceled, before finally booking a seat on the ill-fated June 12 flight, where he occupied business class seat 2D.
He was reportedly en route to London to visit his wife and daughter. CCTV footage from the airport revealed that the plane took off at 1:38 pm but lost control within just 32 seconds, leading to the crash.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), the Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), and a team of experts from Boeing are currently investigating the accident using data from the black box.
