The final unidentified victim, a 32-year-old passenger from Gujarat's Bhuj, was matched late night. With this, all 260 victims, 241 passengers and crew, and 19 non-passengers have now been accounted for.

The medical authorities had earlier pegged the fatality count at 270. The final DNA identification was of Anil Lalji Khimani, a resident of Dahinsar,

Bhuj, who was en route to London on the ill-fated flight. His name had appeared on the boarding list, but his remains could not be confirmed earlier due to a delay in DNA matching.

His father, Laljibhai Khimani, had requested authorities to expedite the process or investigate further if the body remained unidentified.
