    • This Photo Does Not Show CDS Bipin Rawats Helicopter Crash In Coonoor

      A photo from 2019 of an Indian Army helicopter after it made an emergency landing in Jammu is viral with a false claim that it is an image of the Indian Air Force chopper which crashed in Coonoor, Tamil Nadu with Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Bipin Rawat and 13 others on board.

      According to media reports, CDS Bipin Rawat, his wife, defence assistant, security commandos and an IAF pilot were on board the Mi-series chopper when it crashed between Coimbatore and Sulur in Tamil Nadu. The IAF in a statement on Twitter confirmed that Rawat, his wife Madhulika and 11 others died in the crash.

      The IAF said an inquiry has been ordered into the accident and added that Rawat was on a visit to Defence Services Staff College, Wellington (Nilgiri Hills) to address the faculty and student officers of the Staff Course on Wednesday.
