UPSC Labels Former IAS Trainee Puja Khedkar as ‘Mastermind’ in Irregularities Case

It is alleged that former IAS trainee Puja Khedkar was the “mastermind” behind the irregularities committed in her case, as charged by the Union Public Service Commission. The accusation was made during a hearing at the Delhi High Court on Monday regarding Khedkar’s anticipatory bail application.

“She is a mastermind; without the help of others, it’s not possible,” the UPSC told the hearing, underlining the seriousness of allegations against Ms. Khedkar. Khedkar, whose candidature was recently cancelled by the UPSC, had approached Delhi High Court for anticipatory bail. The matter is pending before a bench headed by Justice Subramanium Prasad.
