The remains of an Air India crash victim were sent to the UK mixed with another person's body and have still not been identified, an inquest has heard.The London-bound Boeing 787 Dreamliner crashed into a medical college shortly after taking off from Ahmedabad Airport last June 12, killing all but one of the people on board.Some 169 Indian passengers and 52 British nationals died with many of the bodies repatriated to the UK in the wake of the crash.On Tuesday, senior coroner Professor Fiona Wilcox opened and adjourned the inquest into the death of a man whose body became mixed with a fellow passenger's.She said: 'After extensive examination of these remains, this victim was separated and identified from the remains of the other person that he was mixed with.'We have sent palm prints and DNA to India in an attempt to identify this gentleman but to date we have had no confirmation as to his name or any of the other registration that the court is able and required to find.'The identity of the unidentified male remains outstanding. I hope that identification will be forthcoming.' Detective Inspector Mike Buck told the 15-minute hearing: 'We have been working for some time with British High Commission in India to make those identifications.'

Prof Wilcox also opened and adjourned the inquest into the death of a woman whose body was sent to Britain under a different name. She has now been identified as Indian national Vasuben Narendrasinh Raj, 70.She told an online hearing of Inner West London Coroner's Court that Ms Raj's remains were sent to the UK under another name, but when they were tested it was confirmed they were not of that person.Westminster Public Mortuary then sent the remains for DNA testing and the results were provided to Indian authorities who identified them as those of Ms Raj.The coroner said full inquests will be heard when the results of the ongoing investigation into the crash by Indian authorities is completed. The Mail on Sunday last month revealed the story of Radd Seiger, a retired lawyer advising Vishwash Kumar Ramesh - the only survivor of the crash.When Mr Seiger began negotiating with Air India, Mr Ramesh was still recovering with relatives in the small Gujarat fishing town of Diu, from which many people have migrated to Britain and where 14 of the jet's passengers lived.He was terrified at the prospect of flying home – on the same type of plane as he boarded on June 12, a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, and following the same route, from Ahmedabad to London Gatwick. However, if the American lawyer thought company reps would 'love-bomb' the sole survivor – whose seat number, 11A, has come to symbolise good luck for air travellers the world over – he was mistaken.It was all he could do to persuade them to give Mr Ramesh a business class seat for his white-knuckle flight home. They only relented after Emirates offered to step in.Though Air India claim to be 'deeply conscious' of their responsibility towards Mr Ramesh, Mr Seiger also says they repeatedly rebuffed his entreaties to work with him 'collaboratively'. Their reported interim compensation offer was just £21,500.Many poor Indian victims claim they were pressurised into signing contracts in acceptance of similar payments – with the proviso that they waive the right to make any further claim.

He says he had no idea of the contract's implications and was pressed to sign it in haste.Among British families, there is also widespread anger over the intrusive questionnaires bereaved family members were required to complete so that Air India could assess the financial 'value' of their loved ones.
