Aniket Ovhal, the national secretary of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), allegedly drowned in a river at Maharashtra's Nandurbar area on Wednesday.
A message by former ABVP national head Milind Marathe stated that Aniket Ovhal had gone for swimming with others in a river at Dhadgaon area in Nandurbar. "He was caught in a whirlpool and could not come out," an ABVP official said.
Ovhal was elevated to the national level from Maharashtra secretary two years ago. He was active during the ABVP protests in Jawaharlal Nehru University.
Further details are awaited.
