Congress Member of Parliament (MP) Varsha Gaikwad on Saturday said the resignation of Maharashtra State Women’s Commission Chairperson Rupali Chakankar will not bring closure to the Ashok Kharat case, and demanded a comprehensive probe into all those allegedly associated with the self-styled godman arrested for rape, news agency PTI reported.
Chakankar, a Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader, stepped down from her post on Friday amid criticism over her alleged links with Kharat.
