Ahmedabad (India), June 12 (LaPresse/AP) – The police commissioner of Ahmedabad, G.S. Malik, told the Associated Press that there appear to be no survivors in the Air India plane crash involving more than 240 people on board, which crashed shortly after takeoff from Ahmedabad.

“It seems there are no survivors in the plane crash,” the commissioner told AP, adding that since the plane crashed in a residential area with offices, “some local residents may also have died.”

“The exact number of victims is being determined,” said G.S. Malik. The flight was headed to London.
