An Air India flight bound for London crashed shortly after taking off from the western Indian city of Ahmedabad on Jun. 12 afternoon.
At around 7:56pm (Singapore time), the Associated Press reported that Ahmedabad city police chief had told the news outlet that "it appears there are no survivors" onboard the flight.
As of 8:40pm (Singapore time), Air India has yet to release a statement confirming this number.

These included 169 Indian nationals, 53 British nationals, one Canadian national, and seven Portuguese nationals.
Amongst the travellers, 11 of them were reportedly children.
