An aviation technology expert has reportedly claimed that he has spotted the remains of missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 in the ocean between Malaysia and India.

Andre Milne, who has been investigating the case independently since the flight disappeared in March last year, has said that he located the wreckage in the ocean between Malaysia and India, reported The Mirror.

He insisted that the debris in the Bay of Bengal must be probed and said he needs £1.3 million to find it.

While remarking that the disappearance of the flight had touched every single person in different ways, Milne urged people to come forward and donate 6.70 pounds each to crowdfund a project aimed at verifying the remains lying in the Bay of Bengal.
