Here's why judge probing SIMI encounter resigned...

Confusion prevailed over the continuation of retired Madhya Pradesh High Court judge SK Pandey as the head of the one-man panel probing the October 30 jailbreak by eight SIMI activists and their subsequent "encounter" by police, with a top officer saying on Sunday Pandey has resigned over the lack of "infrastructure".

According to the officer, Pandey quit over the "delay in providing a car by the government for carrying out official work". However, he also added the retired judge has agreed to continue after government apologised to him. "Yes, he (Pandey) has resigned citing that the government has not provided him a car for carrying out official work," the officer close to Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan told
