Police reveal list of people ‘inj.red’ following
A UK-bound Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner carrying over 240 people crashed shortly after takeoff on the morning of June 12 in the Meghani Nagar area of Ahmedabad, India. The plane, registered as VT-ANB, went down at 1:38pm local time (9:08am BST), and officials are still assessing the full scope of casualties. While police have released a list of 25 individuals injured—ranging in age from 18 to 52—it remains unclear whether these were passengers or people on the ground. Authorities have not yet confirmed whether this list is complete.
Indian police have stated there are likely no survivors from the plane, and some locals may also have died due to the crash occurring in a populated area. Of the 242 onboard, the passengers included 169 Indians, 53 Britons, seven Portuguese, and one Canadian. Air India Chairman Natarajan Chandrasekaran expressed condolences, emphasizing the airline’s commitment to supporting affected families and aiding emergency efforts. An emergency centre has been activated, and further verified updates are expected.
