Former Aam Aadmi Party leader and social activist Anjali Damania, who was on a hunger strike demanding a probe into corruption charges against former Maharashtra Revenue Minister Eknath Khadse, ended her fast on Saturday.

She broke her hunger strike after getting a written assurance from Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

Roshni Raut, a close associate of Damania, said, Damania ended her strike after she received a message from the chief minister on her mobile informing her that a proper inquiry has been constituted.

The former AAP leader was also informed that a committee would be formed very soon to speed up (the probe) and ensure the time-bound investigation, following which she (Damania) decided to end her fast, Raut said.

Damania had on June 2 sat on a hunger strike at Azad Maidan in Mumbai, demanding Khadses ouster from the Maharashtra cabinet in the wake of charges of impropriety over purchase of a land belonging to the government-owned Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation in Pune against him.

She had also demanded a time-bound inquiry into the matter led by a retired high court judge.
