The mortal remains of Group Captain Varun Singh, who succumbed to his injuries after surviving last week’s helicopter crash in Tamil Nadu, were consigned to flames with full military and state honours in Bhopal on December 17.

Wrapped in a tricolour, the mortal remains were brought to the cremation ground in Bairagarh area in Bhopal from the Military Hospital in a flower-bedecked Army truck with people raising slogans of ‘Bharat mata ki jai’ and ‘Group Captain Varun Singh amar rahe’.
