New Delhi: India's first Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat died in a helicopter crash on Wednesday. His wife Madhulika Rawat also died in the accident. She was also on board the helicopter that met with the accident. With this, a dream came to an end, which General Rawat had seen. In fact, General Rawat had expressed his desire to settle in his native village after retiring from the Army. But their wish could not be fulfilled.
