Family members, community leaders, and relatives received her body at Dimapur and transported it by road around 160 km to Kangpokpi.

Her last rites were scheduled to be performed later the same night.

Family members of Singson, relatives and community leaders received the body at the Dimapur airport and paid floral tributes to the young woman who lost her life too early.

Family sources said the last rites of Singson would be done either tonight or Friday as her body would reach Kangpokpi in the late evening.

Officials in Imphal said that it has not yet been decided when the body of the other crew member, Nganthoi Sharma (20), will be brought back to Imphal.

Earlier, family members of both Singson and Nganthoi went to Ahmedabad to complete the necessary formalities for getting the remains of their loved ones.
