India was mourning the victims of a helicopter crash that killed 13 people including the country's top military official, as their funerals got underway on Friday.
The remains of Chief of Defense Staff Gen. Bipin Rawat and his wife Madhulika Rawat arrived at his residence in the capital, Delhi, Friday, where top officials paid their last respects.
