To help identify the victims of the crashed US - Bangla aircraft in Nepal, the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) will conduct DNA tests on the victims’ bodies at their labs.
DNA samples of the relatives of the deceased will also be taken in order to match the results, and two specialists from the CID have already gone to Nepal to collect them.
“The team will hold extensive discussions with specialists there and bring back the DNA samples as necessary, †he added.
He also said: “Our specialists will first examine the bodies and then speak to Nepalese specialists. Bodies which can and cannot be visually identified will be categorized separately. No bodies will be given away on the basis of assumption. â€
Moreover, six members of a nine - person medical team from Bangladesh have gone to Nepal, with the other three not having been able to make it due to passport - related complications.
Even four days after the incident, not a single body has been handed over to their respective families despite eight having been positively identified. According to international law, no bodies are to be handed over in the case of any confusion regarding the victims’ identities.
