Rupali Chakankar’s exit not enough; probe must target ‘big fish’, says Congress leader
Allegations of shielding influential individuals linked to a rape accused raise serious concerns about justice.
Vijay Wadettiwar, Congress leader, criticized Rupali Chakankar's resignation as Maharashtra State Commission for Women chairperson over her links to a rape-accused 'godman', demanding action against those involved. He alleged attempts to shield influential individuals linked to the self-styled godman Ashok Kharat, who was arrested this week in Nashik, and called for a comprehensive investigation into the case, including examining call detail records of all those in contact with Kharat. Wadettiwar also criticized the state government's handling of the situation and alleged attempts to suppress the case.
