The helicopter, an Mi-17v5, carrying CDS Bipin Rawat, his wife, Madhulika Rawat and 12 other army personnel crashed into the side of the mountain just minutes before it was scheduled to land in Coonoor on December 8. Mr. Rawat and 13 others died in the crash, while the lone survivor Group Captain Varun Singh succumbed to injuries, a few days later.
