‘Handled with utmost professionalism': India on UK news report claiming wrong bodies returned after Air India crash
India on Wednesday responded to a report by a UK publication claiming that the remains of some British victims of the June 12 Air India crash in Ahmedabad were wrongly identified before repatriation. In a statement issued on Tuesday, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said: 'We have seen the report and have been working closely with the UK side from the moment these concerns and issues were brought to our attention. All mortal remains were handled with utmost professionalism and with due regard for the dignity of the deceased.' He added that Indian authorities are continuing to coordinate with their British counterparts to address any ongoing concerns. The Daily Mail, a tabloid newspaper published in the UK, cited an aviation lawyer representing several families, who said grieving relatives in the UK were informed of grave errors in the identification of bodies. One family had to cancel funeral plans after discovering that the coffin delivered to them contained the remains of an unidentified passenger, the report alleged. In another case, remains of more than one victim were reportedly placed in a single casket and had to be separated before burial, Daily Mail claimed. The alleged mistakes apparently came to light during identity verification conducted by Inner West London coroner Dr Fiona Wilcox, who used DNA samples provided by the families. The Air India Boeing 787 Dreamliner had crashed shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad, killing 241 people onboard, including 52 British nationals. Another 19 people on the ground were also killed, and 67 were seriously injured. A preliminary report by India's Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB), released on July 10, said both of the aircraft's fuel switches were found in the cut-off position immediately after takeoff—cutting off fuel supply to the engines and leading to the crash. The controversy comes just ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the UK, where he is expected to meet his counterpart Keir Starmer to sign a much-anticipated free trade agreement.

ISKCON responds to YouTuber's chicken prank at group's veg eatery in London: If ‘Gita could be taught at schools….'
After a video of British YouTuber 'Cenzo' eating chicken from KFC inside ISKCON's vegetarian Govinda's Restaurant in London triggered public outrage, ISKCON London has said that if the Hindu holy book 'Gita could be taught at schools and universities', then such 'wanton acts of aggression against innocent persons" would stop. The incident took place last week at the popular pure vegetarian eatery. Cenzo, who is of African descent, entered the restaurant and asked if meat was served. Upon learning that it wasn't, he proceeded to eat his own KFC takeaway chicken meal at a table there. He even offered the chicken meal to nearby patrons and staff. The entire incident was captured on camera, and the video went viral on social media. Soon, Cenzo was removed from the restaurant by the staff. In an official statement released on July 20, ISKCON London said: 'If the truth of the Gita could be taught at the schools and universities then such wanton acts aggression against innocent persons would cease.' 'Every child should know that we are not these temporary material bodies and minds, rather we are eternal spirit souls and servants of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna,' it said. Calling all living beings 'spiritual sparks' originating in the Supreme source, ISKCON said all lives are sacred and should be respected. It further said: 'We forgive and sincerely pray for the perpetrators of this undignified act, who due to ignorance are probably unaware or simply don't care about the pain they are causing by making such childish videos.' 'May they awaken to the divine consciousness of seeing all living beings as equal on the spiritual platform, to no longer judge and act based upon superficial considerations, to grow to appreciate the beauty of culture, tradition, moral values and the truth of scripture, and to understand that the real peace formula is in loving devotion to the Supreme,' ISKCON London added. Meanwhile, Cenzo issued an apology through a video. He claimed that he was unaware of the restaurant's religious links.
