Helicopter crashes with India military chief on board; at least 3 dead
Rawat is India's first chief of defense staff, a position that the government established in 2019, and is seen as close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"Some of the injured have been taken to the hospital," he said, adding around two dozen fire brigade vehicles were at the scene to douse a fire. Rawat comes from a military family with several generations having served in the Indian armed forces. Rawat was chief of the 1.3 million-strong army from 2017 to 2019 before his elevation to defense services chief, which analysts said was to improve integration between the army, navy and air force.
