The Supreme Court is set to hear the anticipatory bail plea of ex-IAS trainee Puja Khedkar tomorrow. Khedkar, who faces allegations of forgery, cheating, and fraud related to the misuse of a backward class certificate, had her bail request denied by lower courts. Terming the accusations as “erroneous,” she has moved the apex court seeking relief. The case has garnered significant attention due to its implications for civil services integrity and legal accountability.
Manorama Khedkar, mother of IAS probationer Puja Khedkar, was charged with attempted murder for brandishing a gun in a viral video related to a land dispute in Pune. Puja’s father, Dilip Khedkar, is also under investigation for alleged disproportionate assets. Puja’s government training program has been suspended, and she has been ordered to return to the academy by July 23.
