The bodies of four members of the Thane family, who were onboard the ill-fated plane that crashed in Nepal's Mustang district, were identifiable, the Nepal Police has said.

In a telephonic conversation with mid-day.com, Nepal's Central Police spokesperson, SSP Bishnu Kumar KC, said, "Twenty bodies have been recovered so far and search for the remaining two is underway. The bodies are being transported to Kathmandu through helicopters. Four Indians who died in the crash were identifiable and therefore no DNA test was needed. Efforts are being made to send their mortal remains back to the country."
