Group Captain Varun Singh, the lone survivor of the Indian Air Force (IAF) chopper crash in Tamil Nadu's Coonoor, is battling for his life. A few months ago, Group Captain Varun Singh was conferred with a gallantry award, following which he sent an inspiring message to the students of his school.

The Air Force officer, who was onboard the ill-fated helicopter with Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat, is the only one who has survived among the 14 who were on the flight. However, his condition remains critical.
