In a fire mishap, Leela ben Patel, wife of former Gujarat Chief Minister Keshubhai Patel was gutted to death while exercising at her residence early morning on Thursday. | |
| A sudden short circuit has been understood to be the reason behind the fire. |
| |
| The excercise room was majorly wood-based and was completely burnt in the fire. Keshubhai and his son were in the house when the mishap occurred. |
| |
| Narendra Modi reached Patel's residence quite early along with their collegues to offer condolences. |
| |
| Keshubhai's securityman Shantibhai Parmar informed him of some smoke coming from the bungalow around 6.45 am while he was preparing to read morning newspapers in another room. |
| |
| He immediately called his son Mahesh who was sleeping in the first floor bedroom. But by the time they came to the exercise room, the fire had engulfed the room. |
| |
| Post mortem of the badly burnt body was conducted at the residence itself and the cremation was to be held that evening itself. |
