Central Government Discharges Puja Khedkar from IAS with Immediate Effect Amid Accusations
Sep 7, 2024, 12:24 PM
The Central Government has discharged Puja Manorama Dilip Khedkar, an IAS probationer from the Maharashtra cadre (2023), from the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) with immediate effect. This decision, dated September 6, 2024, follows the cancellation of her selection by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) on July 31, 2024, amid accusations of cheating and misusing OBC and disability quota benefits. Over 30 complaints have been lodged with the UPSC accusing selected candidates of misrepresenting their credentials. The discharge was executed under Rule 12 of the IAS (Probation) Rules, 1954, weeks after the initial cancellation.
