The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has filed a case against Puja Khedkar, a probationary IAS officer, for allegedly forging disability certificates to pass the civil services exam. The commission seeks to cancel her candidature. An investigation revealed Khedkar fraudulently availed of extra attempts by changing her identity, including name, parents' names, photo, signature, email, mobile number, and address. The UPSC has recommended her for the Civil Services Examination-2022, but her candidature is now under scrutiny. The case highlights the UPSC's zero-tolerance policy towards exam fraud. Khedkar's alleged misconduct has put her career in jeopardy.
