On Monday afternoon, the bodies of the doctor couple were handed over to their two US-based IT engineer sons – Smit, who works with Google, and Sneh, employed with Marvell technologies

The incidents follow the devastating Ahmedabad crash involving an Air India 787-8 last week, which claimed 270 lives, including passengers and civilians on the ground. The aircraft crashed into a medical college campus shortly after take-off, triggering a massive blaze.

Three days after the crash, only 35 bodies had been handed over to relatives from an overall official death toll of 270.
