Ankleshwar Mourns: Civic Leader Nilesh Patel Laid to Rest; Daughters Break Tradition to Perform Last Rites
Ankleshwar Nagar Seva Sadan Executive President Nilesh Patel passed away tragically in a road accident. The fatal incident occurred on the night of Mahashivratri when his car collided with a tractor, leaving him critically injured. He later succumbed to his injuries.
On Monday, his final journey began from his native village, Motvan, where a large number of people gathered to pay their last respects. The entire village was engulfed in grief as mourners joined the funeral procession.
Several prominent political and social leaders were present to offer their condolences, including Gujarat StateMinister Ishwarsinh Patel, BJP State Executive MemberMarutisinh Atodaria, and District BJP President Prakash Modi.
Nilesh Patel was widely respected for his humble and approachable nature. He played a significant role in the development works of Ankleshwar, and his sudden demise has created an irreplaceable void in the social and political spheres of the region.
In a deeply emotional moment, both of his daughters performed the last rites and lit the funeral pyre — a powerful and moving sight that left many in tears.
