The CG said the human remains had been handed over to Tamil Nadu Forensic Laboratory for a DNA test and blood samples of the kin of the three deceased personnel were obtained matching the identity.

"The remains belong to Commandant Subhash Suresh, Deputy Commandant Vidyasagar and Deputy Commandant D Sai M K Soni. The bereaved family members have been intimated about the confirmation of the DNA test," it said in a release.
