• Kuldeep Singh Rao - कुन्नूर हेलीकॉप्टर हादसे में सीडीएस जनरल रावत के साथ झुंझुनूं जिले के घरडाना खुर्द निवासी स्क्वॉड्रन लीडर कुलदीप राव ने भी अपनी शहादत दी है। शहीद कुलदीप के पिता भी नेवी में अधिकारी हैं और बहन अभिता इंडियन कोस्ट गार्ड में डिप्टी कमांडेंट है। शहीद की पत्नी यशस्विनी ढाका मेरठ की बेटी हैं। कुलदीप अपने माता पिता के इकलौते बेटे थे। On 8 December 2021, General Rawat, his wife and members of his staff were amongst 10 passengers and 4 crew members aboard an Indian Air Force Mil Mi-17 helicopter flight en route from the Sulur Airforce base to the Defence Services Staff College (DSSC), Wellington, where Rawat was to deliver a lecture. At around 12:10 p.m. the aircraft crashed near a residential colony of private tea estate employees on the outskirts of the hamlet of Nanjappachatiram, Bandishola panchayat, in the Katteri-Nanchappanchathram area of Coonoor taluk, Nilgiris district. The crash site was 10 km from the flight's intended destination. Rawat's death – and those of his wife and 11 others – was later confirmed by the Indian Air Force. Rawat's liaison officer, Group Captain Varun Singh was the sole survivor.
