AHMEDABAD, India (Reuters) -The death toll in the deadly Air India plane crash rose to 270 on Saturday, with families increasingly getting upset due to delays in handing over bodies which were badly charred in the tragedy in the western Indian city of Ahmedabad.

The crash happened just weeks after the company cut a deal with the U.S. government to avoid taking criminal responsibility for a pair of deadly crashes in 2018 and 2019.

An Air India flight has reportedly crashed after taking off from Ahmedabad Airport in western India en route to London.

Air India flight AI171 crashed in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad. Reports suggest over 200 passengers were onboard the flight– a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
