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 faces 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 Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has 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.
