India on Wednesday responded to a report about bungling in identifying the bodies of Britons killed in the crash of Air India flight 171 by saying it is working with the UK to address "concerns and issues".

The crash of the Boeing 787 in Ahmedabad on June 12 killed all but one of the 242 people on board, as well as 19 people on the ground.

Fifty-two of the dead were British citizens. The aircraft lost power and crashed soon after taking off from Ahmedabad for London.

Britain's Daily Mail newspaper reported on Tuesday that the remains of two British victims were wrongly identified before being repatriated to the UK.

External affairs ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal responded to the Daily Mail's report by saying that Indian authorities are working with their UK counterparts on the issue.
