Hard for me to say given lack of link to the original article, but what are the odds this woman was never actually examined by a medical professional to be pronounced dead, and was just delivered to the cremation unit by organized crime or some other malicious actor trying to dispose of her?

This seems like a made up story although it's all over Indian Media. Their Foreign Ministry apparently also issued a demarche to China earlier today regarding this..
This "woman's" not-a-real-person Twitter account says London UK on the profile front end. What about actual geolocation though? Also, having seen my fair share of AI-generated fake headshot photos, this one looks really fake.

Air India Just Discovered a Missing Boeing 737, Forgot They Owned​

GURUGRAM- Air India (AI) identified a missing Boeing 737 at Kolkata Airport (CCU), uncovering an aircraft that had been abandoned for 13 years and overlooked across successive administrative cycles.

The jet, a 43-year-old Boeing 737-200, remained unnoticed until Kolkata Airport requested its removal.

The discovery triggered an internal audit that revealed how the aircraft vanished from official records before privatization.

The case reflects legacy gaps that once shaped the former state-run airline’s asset management practices.

The aircraft, registered as VT-EHH, was a Boeing 737-2A8F from the Baby Boeing family. Delivered to Indian Airlines (IC) in 1982, it later operated with Alliance Air before Air India converted it into a freighter in 2007.

It flew with India Post titles but was grounded at Kolkata Airport (CCU) in 2012. Instead of being sold, scrapped, or parted out, the jet sat idle in a remote corner of the airfield and disappeared from the airline’s fixed-asset documentation.

Kolkata Airport officials eventually contacted Air India to request the removal of the abandoned jet.

This prompted a detailed internal check that confirmed the aircraft had been omitted from multiple documents for years.

The oversight meant depreciation schedules, insurance records, maintenance forecasts, and financing-related registers failed to reflect its existence.

At the time, taxpayers were responsible for losses, and the outdated processes allowed this lapse to persist.
The missing aircraft underscores the challenges of modernizing a legacy carrier with decades of inconsistent documentation.

Since acquiring the airline, Tata Group has been rebuilding IT systems, renegotiating vendor contracts, cleaning up leases, and addressing HR gaps. These steps aim to establish governance standards that meet global aviation benchmarks.

The sale and transfer of VT-EHH were completed after its rediscovery, though the buyer and sale price remain undisclosed.

The outcome highlights why detailed record validation is essential when overhauling complex airline operations with long operational histories.

Today I read an article about the Indian way of thinking; the author is Indian.View attachment 165196View attachment 165197View attachment 165198
Thanks for this. That is a fun read, and actually just further confirmed what I already knew about those people after conversing with them many times.

It is true that every culture have their own versions of "save face" or forms of nepotism, I mean that is human nature. but the fact is MOST of them are actually even MUCH WORSE than China, and literally contributes to fucking up their whole society before it even begins. I mean the reality speaks for itself.

This is why when Sinophobes and westerners try to be smug talking about China and spamming the words "save face" or "guang xi" as if they are some "Chinese language and cultural experts" describing phenomenon that "only exist in China", that is nothing more than their shameless racism and orientalism showing its true colours. These people would never look themselves in the mirrors, because their "lzzat" will eat them from the inside and they know it. One of the most pathetic bunches of people possible, who only can lie to themselves while crying behind their mask of smugness when going back to their dumpster of a reality, especially after their high from internet coping wears off.
