The body of former Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, who was among the 241 passengers killed in the Air India plane crash in Ahmedabad, was identified through DNA testing on Sunday.
Rupani's DNA was matched at 11.10 am. His body was handed over to the family.
Thrust not achieved... falling... Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!" were the last words from the Air India Flight 171 cockpit, shortly before the plane crashed near Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad on Thursday, June 12, 2025, according to a report by the Times of India,
The call was received at air traffic control (ATC) mere seconds before all communications stopped. High-ranking officials stated that the jet was close to finishing the 3.5km runway of the airport, which typically requires 2.5km to 3km for a wide-bodied jet.
“The longer runway roll hints at a possibility of the aircraft not having adequate thrust for take-off,” the report quoted a person aware of the development. “The facts can be ascertained only after the black box is decoded,” it added.
Gujarat Health Minister Rishikesh Patel said that Rupani's cremation will take place in Rajkot and modalities were being worked out.
