Yesterday seven corpses were recovered out of which six were identified as belonging to the family of Rahimtullah which perished in the visitation while returning home from the Haji Ali Darga at Mahalaxmi. Rahimtullah Abdulla’s body was identified from a ration card found on his person. To-day Hamidulla Rahimtullah (25), Currimbax (20), Amir (20), Mohamed Yakub and Mohamed Yunus were identified at the Coroner’s Court.
