Another twist in the story of the tragic helicopter crash that killed General Bipin Rawat alongside his wife and 11 other crew members.
Reportedly the pilot and the lone survivor of the unlucky Mi-17 helicopter was Group Captain Varun Singh who happens to be a batchmate of Group Captain Abhinandan Varthaman.
Abhinandan Varthaman got fame after he was shot by a Pakistani fighter pilot (then Squadron Leader) Wing Commander Hassan Siddiqui and remained a prisoner Of war in Pakistan until he was handed back to the Indian government.
