Trainee IAS officer Puja Khedkar, who has come under the scanner for alleged irregularities in her selection for civil service, was to report at Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy Of Administration in Mussoorie yesterday, but she did not show up.
Ms Khedkar, it is learnt, is out of reach after the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) filed a criminal case against her “misrepresenting and falsifying facts” in her application for civil service. The 34-year-old, it is alleged, manipulated her identity to appear for the all-India exam multiple times. The UPSC has also issued a show cause notice to cancel her selection, and she may also be barred from taking the exam again. Delhi Police have now filed a case against the young officer and probe is on.
“UPSC has filed a complaint with Delhi Police against Ms. Puja Manorama Dilip Khedkar for misrepresenting and falsifying facts to obtain extra attempts in the UPSC examinations, beyond the prescribed limit. Consequently, a case has been registered under the relevant sections of the law, and investigation has been taken up in Crime Branch,” Delhi Police have said.
On July 16, Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) in Mussoorie — training institution for IAS officers — put Puja Khedkar’s training on hold in the aftermath of serious allegations against her. She was also asked to report back to the academy by July 23 i.e yesterday. Ms Khedkar, it is learnt, did not report back.
