The death toll in the deadly Air India plane crash rose to 270 on Saturday (June 14, 2025), with families increasingly getting upset due to delays in handing over bodies which were badly charred in the tragedy in Ahmedabad.

Air India flight AI 171, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner bound for London's Gatwick Airport, crashed into a residential area called Meghani Nagar five minutes after taking off at 1:38 p.m. local time, Faiz Ahmed Kidwai, the director general of the directorate of civil aviation, told The Associated Press.
