The state government has appointed a single-member commission of inquiry to be headed by Dilip Bhosale, former chief justice of the Allahabad High Court, to probe the Badlapur encounter.

The probe pertains to the police action in which Akshay Shinde, accused of sexually assaulting school children, was killed on September 23, 2024. The government has issued terms and references under the Commission of Inquiry Act, 1952, asking the ex-CJ to fix the responsibility and recommend measures to prevent the recurrence of such incidents.
