Who was the village official that insisted Baba's own wishes for his resting place be followed?

The individual who was very firm in ensuring Sai Baba's own wishes were followed was Patil Ramachandra. According to Chapter 43, he was a village official who played a crucial role in the discussions after Baba's passing. While others, like Khushalchand and Amir Shakkar, had different ideas for a tomb, Patil Ramachandra stood his ground. He authoritatively declared that Baba's own words were, "Let this body stay in the Wada," thereby ensuring that the Guru's desire was honored over the other proposals.
