The Mi-17V5 helicopter carrying 14 on board crashed on 8th December near Tamil Nadu reportedly due to bad weather. CDS General Bipin Rawat, wife Madhulika Rawat, Defence Adviser Brigadier Lakhbinder Singh Lidder, Staff Officer Lieutenant Colonel Harjinder Singh and nine other Armed Forces personnel including the Air Force helicopter crew had died in the crash.
