Group Captain Varun Singh, who was rescued after the helicopter crash that killed Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat and 12 others on December 8, died.
Group Captain Singh was being treated for severe burns at a Bengaluru military hospital after he was moved from Wellington in Tamil Nadu's Coonoor. He was on life support.
Exactly a week ago, General Bipin Rawat, his wife Madhulika, and 12 others were flying from Sulur Air Base to Wellington when their Mi17V5 Air Force chopper crashed in the hills seven minutes before landing.
Air Force officer Group Captain Varun Singh was awarded the Shaurya Chakra in August last year for his bravery in flying his aircraft despite trouble during a flight.
