No survivors in Ahmedabad Plane Crash, says Police Commissioner G.S. Malik
Ahmedabad, June 12: Ahmedabad City Police Commissioner G.S. Malik has said that there appear to be no survivors in the Air India flight crash that occurred earlier today near Meghaninagar, close to the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.
“It appears there are no survivors in the plane crash,” Malik was quoted as saying, according to a report published by The New Indian Express, citing Associated Press.
Malik further stated that since the aircraft crashed in a densely populated residential area that also houses several office buildings, it is likely that some local residents may have also lost their lives in the tragedy. “Exact figures on casualties are being ascertained,” he added.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner, operating as flight AI 171 from Ahmedabad to London, went down within minutes of take-off on Thursday afternoon. The crash has claimed at least 133 lives so far, with emergency response and rescue operations still underway.

Allahabad HC sets aside maintenance order in favour of earning wife, says she didn't tell truth
Prayagraj (PTI): The Allahabad High Court has set aside a lower court order mandating a man to pay maintenance to his estranged wife, observing that she earns her living and did not reveal the true salary in her affidavit.
Justice Madan Pal Singh also allowed a criminal revision petition filed by the man, Ankit Saha.
"A perusal of the impugned judgment indicates that in the affidavit filed before the trial court, the opposite party herself admitted that she is a post-graduate and a web designer by qualification. She is working as a senior sales coordinator in a company and getting a salary of Rs 34,000 per month," the court said in the December 3 order.
"But in her cross-examination, she has admitted that she was earning Rs 36,000 per month. Such an amount for a wife who has no other liability cannot be said to be meagre; whereas the man has the responsibility of maintaining his aged parents and other social obligations," it observed.
The high court observed that the woman was not entitled to get any maintenance from her husband "as she is an earning lady and able to maintain herself".
The man's counsel argued in court that the estranged wife did not reveal the whole truth in the affidavit.
"She claimed herself to be an illiterate and unemployed woman. When the document filed by the man was shown to her before the trial court, she admitted her income during cross-examination. Thus, it is clear that she did not come before the trial court with clean hands," the counsel submitted.
The court, in its order, said, "Cases of those litigants who have no regard for the truth and those who indulge in suppressing material facts need to be thrown out of the court."
It impugned the lower court's February 17 judgment and order, passed by the principal judge of a family court in Gautam Buddh Nagar and allowed the criminal revision petition filed by the man.
