Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) national secretary Anikhet Ovhal's spirit lives on and, "we think that a shraddhanjali is just the way to show it," said a section of ABVP students. The outfit is holding a shraddhanjali for the late Ovhal at Matunga's Ruia College at 6 pm today.

The background

Ovhal, 32, died by drowning on November 11. The student leader was on a work tour with a few other ABVP members and was in Nandurbar district. "In Nandurbar district of Maharashtra, Anikhet dada stopped to look at a waterfall, along with two others. Unfortunately, he slipped and fell into the water. He was snared in a whirlpool and could not get out. He drowned and the body was recovered about 1.5 hours later," explained Gargi Warunjikar of the ABVP. Ovhal was a Chembur resident.
