The death toll from Thursday's Air India plane crash near Ahmedabad Airport in Gujarat has risen to 274, with 33 on-ground deaths confirmed, The Times of India reported on Saturday.
The casualty count rising beyond the 241 passengers and crew confirmed dead in the crash suggests that the additional 33 victims were likely people on the campus of Ahmedabad's BJ Medical College, the report said.
The Hindustan Times reported on Saturday that the Indian government has formed a high-level committee to probe the Air India crash. The committee will be headed by the home secretary and include representatives, not below the rank of joint secretary, from both state and central governments. The committee is expected to publish its report within three months.
