Puja Khedkar, a 2023-batch IAS officer from the Maharashtra cadre, faces scrutiny for allegedly lying about her disability to clear the Civil Services exam. Khedkar called the situation a “media trial,” stating, "According to the Indian Constitution, a person cannot be considered guilty until the charges are proven." She promised to address all allegations before a committee and accept their decision. Allegations include misuse of power and submitting questionable disability certificates. The Centre has formed a committee to re-evaluate her documents.
