Speaking to The Free Press Journal (FPJ), Congress leader Sangeeta Tiwari said, “In the case of the Satara doctor, who allegedly died by suicide, the Women’s Commission should take strict action against those responsible. The State Women’s Commission Chairperson, Rupali Chakankar, should resign immediately if she is helpless to take a courageous step against the culprits.”
