Big Demands Land Trainee IAS Officer In Trouble
Puja Khedkar, the on-probation civil services officer under scrutiny after allegedly lying - about visual and mental disabilities and her OBC background - to secure a range of perks not allowed for junior staffers, exchanged multiple WhatsApp messages with the Pune Collector's office before her posting and demanded confirmation of her "seating arrangement and vehicle". A 2023-batch IAS officer, Ms Khedkar faces multiple allegations, including lying about her OBC status, and using a siren (a red beacon reserved for VIP government vehicles) and a 'Government of Maharashtra' for her private vehicle, a luxury Audi sedan.
