Air crash families seek answers on remains error
Families of people who died when an Air India plane crashed shortly after taking off in June say they still lack answers about why their relatives' remains were mixed up.
Miten Patel, whose parents Ashok and Shobhana died when their flight from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick hit a residential building, says Indian officials are yet to apologise after a UK coroner found "other remains" in his mother's casket.
He says he wants the Indian authorities to say "we have made a mistake, the mistake we trace back to this, and we apologise for it".
The Indian government was contacted for comment. It said in July that all remains were handled with "utmost professionalism" and dignity.
