Former High Court Judge Shrikant Malte appointed by the state government to probe the January 2013 Dhule riots, in which six Muslims lost their lives, has resigned from his post.
Malte is reported to have felt humiliated by the usage of words in the order granting the commission an extension till December 31. The letter said this was the last extension the government was giving him, pointing to the delays in the functioning of the commission.
