JAKARTA - India responded to British media reports stating that there was a mistake in returning the bodies of victims of the Indian airline crash to their country of origin. The body is a British citizen (WN).
The Daily Mail media report was based on the victim's family's confession that the bodies they received were not recognized by them.
"We have seen the report and have been working closely with the UK since concerns and this issue was raised to us," said Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal, Wednesday, July 23, quoted from Hindustantimes.
Jaiswal emphasized that India had identified victims according to the protocol and technical requirements set out after the tragic accident occurred.
"All bodies are handled very professionally and taking into account the dignity of the deceased. We continue to work closely with British authorities to deal with any concerns regarding this issue," continued Jaiswal.
The Daily Mail also said that due to an error in sending the bodies, the family canceled the funerals that had been scheduled in the UK recently.
The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner Air Indian plane crash occurred on June 12 to reach the death toll of 260 people.
