The Capital Development and Administration Division (CAD) on Monday permitted Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) to exhume bodies of crew members of PK-661 flight that crashed last year over suspicion of consumption of poisonous eatables. Permission of district administration will be sought for exhumation.
The bodies will be subjected to medical tests to check consumption of poisonous food items before the crew took off from Chitral in the evening on December 7.
Sources privy to the authorities concerned have reported that a board comprising of medics belonging to PIMS would be formed to conduct tests and report their findings.
PK-661 flight crashed near Havelian while on way to Islamabad claiming lives of all 48 persons on board including five crew members.
