A list of passengers and crew members of the helicopter from Delhi to Sulur doing the rounds on social media names General Rawat, his wife Madhulika Rawat, Brigadier L.S. Lidder (defence assistant to the CDS), Lieutenant Colonel Harjinder Singh (special officer to the CDS), PSOs Naik Gursewak Singh, Naik Jitendra Kumar, Lieutenant Naik Vivek Kumar, Lieutenant Naik B Sai Teja, and Havildar Satpal.

As per the media reports, a meeting with senior Defence Ministry officials is underway. Rajnath Singh is expected to brief the parliament shortly, as per reports. Parliament is in session.

The top Indian military official was going to the Defence Staff College in Wellington from the IAF base in Sulur near Coimbatore.

He had earlier called for lynching the Kashmiris involved in anti-india activities during a media event held in New Delhi last month.
