"Family members whose children or relatives are not in the list of injured and deceased in the jet crash are requested to go to the capital's CID Malibagh office and provide samples for DNA matching", a health ministry release quoted Special Assistant to the Chief Adviser on Health and Family Welfare Dr. Md.
