The solemn remembrance event for the Air India crash that claimed the lives of 260 people in Ahmedabad took place on Friday. Grieving families participated in prayers and a candlelight tribute, marking the first anniversary of the devastating event.

The crash site, near B.J. Medical College, still bears the scars of the disaster where a Boeing 787 crashed into a student's hostel complex. Politicians, government officials, and foreign dignitaries joined the families earlier for a commemoration of the tragedy.

While the investigation into the crash's cause remains inconclusive, families are urging for a broader examination beyond pilot error. Pushkar Raj Sabharwal, the captain's father, continues to advocate for an independent inquiry, defending his son's incident-free career.
