Former Brigadier Sudhir Sawant expressed doubt, said- NIA should investigate
The country’s first CDS General Bipin Rawat died in an Air Force helicopter crash in Coonoor, Tamil Nadu. His wife and 11 other people also died in the accident. When the accident took place, 14 people were on board the helicopter, out of which 13 died while one Group Captain Varun Singh is undergoing treatment at an army hospital.
On Wednesday, there was a stir in the whole country regarding this. Meanwhile, now suspicion of conspiracy is also being raised in this incident. Former Brigadier Sudhir Sawant has expressed suspicion of conspiracy in the helicopter crash case. He alleged that it was not an accident but a conspiracy. The sleeper cells of LTT can be behind this because the area where the accident has happened is the area of LTT itself. Former Brigadier Sudhir Sawant has demanded a probe by the NIA into the incident.
The Air Force had ordered an inquiry soon after the accident. Now the Air Force is investigating the cause of the accident at its level. However, there is no official statement from the Air Force about how this accident happened and whether there is any conspiracy behind it. Let us inform that General Bipin Rawat was on his way to Defense Services Staff College (DSSC) located in Wellington (Nilgiri Hills) when the accident happened, where he was to address the teachers and students.
General Bipin Rawat was aboard the Mi-17V5 helicopter of the Air Force that crashed. His wife was also with him. It was told by the Air Force that DSSC’s Directing Staff Group Captain Varun Singh SC is injured in this accident and is currently undergoing treatment at Military Hospital, Wellington. “It is confirmed with great regret that General Bipin Rawat, Madhulika Rawat and 11 others aboard the helicopter have died in the unfortunate accident,” the Air Force tweeted.
Official sources said the helicopter carrying Rawat and others took off at 11:48 am from Sulur Air Force Base in nearby Coimbatore and was to land at DSSC, Wellington in Udhagamandalam 45 minutes later. He told that the accident happened at 12.22 pm. Earlier, the CDS had reached the Air Force base from Delhi at 11.34 am by an Ember aircraft.
