Personal Life :

Vishwas Nangare Patil, one of Maharashtra’s most popular decorated IPS officers was born in a small village near Kolhapur in 1973.

Brave Role in countering 26/11 Mumbai Attacks :

At 9:40 PM the terrorists had entered, and by 9:51 within 11 minutes of the attack, Patil and his bodyguard entered the Taj building to start their search. They threw away their phones to ensure that calls from family and friends don’t deter their resolution.

At the start, there was a wedding party happening in the ‘Crystal’ hall of the building. There were 400-500 people there. Due to their quick action, terrorists were unable to enter the venue, potentially saving the lives of hundreds of people.

During the whole time, Nangare Patil’s family had no idea about his well-being and they had already started preparing for his funeral at his native place seeing the deaths of officers like Hemant Karkare, Ashok Kamte, and others.

At 4.30 AM on the next day, another IPS officer listened to his voice on the wireless and communicated to his family about his safety. Around 7.00 AM he returned home after the NSG commandos took control of the rescue operation.
