Rupali Chakankar stepped down as the Maharashtra women's commission chief following her alleged connections with rape-accused 'godman' Ashok Kharat.

Congress figurehead Vijay Wadettiwar contends that mere resignation insufficiently addresses the issue, urging a probe into the ties binding Kharat to officials.
