Chennai:
It was a painful moment for the parents and the relatives of three
crew members of the Dornier aircraft, that went under the sea on June
8, as they waited patiently to give their blood samples for the DNA
test conducted by state forensic department to ascertain the identity
of the crew.
Some had tears in the eyes and some were fighting to control their
emotions and some had resigned to the fate as they gloomily awaited
for further orders to proceed for the DNA test at Rajiv Gandhi General
Hospital.
R S Soni, the grieving father of Navigator Deputy Commandant MK Soni,
looked composed. “The watch found below 950 metres belongs to my son,”
said the father. “We are satisfied by the search operation. They have
recovered 85 per cent of the wreckage,” he said.
“What God wills, it has to happen,” he said. “I had come along with my
daughter,” he said, adding that they have been provided with
accommodation at Officers Training Academy.
In a corner, Deputy Commandant Vidyasagar’s frail looking father sat
trying to come to terms with the incident. “I don’t know, I don’t
know” he muttered as he waved away journalists feebly who put forth
some queries.
Teary eyed grieving mother of Subash Suresh tried to control her
emotions and was in conversation with other family members while the
father of Subash was restless.
It was around 7.30pm that the families of the three crew members were
ushered into the casualty section. “We want some privacy. Kindly leave
us alone,” said a relative of the family. ”The DNA tests on the
parents as well as offspring would be conducted by a medical officer
after the permission from the court,” the forensics department source
said.
Meanwhile, the remains of three crew members of Dornier aircraft has
been handed over to the state forensics department on Thursday.
“The forensics department collected the bones of crew member to
ascertain the identity of Deputy Commandant Vidyasagar, Co-pilot
Deputy Commandant Subash Suresh and Navigator Deputy Commandant MK
Soni,” said Inspector General SP Sharma, Commander, Coast Guard
(East).
“It has been fast-tracked thanks to the director general of police,”
said Sharma.
DNA tests could only be conducted once it is ordered by the court or
even the district magistrate following which the samples would be
extracted from the bones of the deceased recovered from the sea by the
deputy director DNA.
A forensics department source said that the bones are still moist and
it has to dry first before the DNA would be extracted. “It can’t be
done overnight,” the source said.
