Bipin Rawat death: Rajnath Singh to brief Parliament

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh will make a statement in both houses of Parliament on the chopper crash that killed 13 people, including Chief Of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat. Air Chief Marshal VR Chaudhary, Air Force Chief, is at the crash site.

The Mi-17 V5 helicopter was making its descent and would have landed in 10 more minutes when it came down, barely 10 km from a road. The Air Force has now ordered an Inquiry into what happened.

The only survivor of the mishap is Air Force Group Captain Varun Singh, who is being treated for severe burns. Group Captain Singh had gone to Sulur from Wellington to receive General Rawat.
