DNA samples have been matched so far in the tragic Air India crash in Ahmedabad, with authorities expediting identification and handover of victims' remains to grieving families.

The state government had earlier stated that samples of 250 victims, including persons on board the ill-fated flight as well as those killed on the ground, had been collected for identification.

The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner with 242 persons on board crashed into a medical college complex in Ahmedabad moments after taking off from the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport at 1.39 p.m. on June 12. While 241 persons on board the aircraft died, one passenger miraculously survived.
