Her name is Puja Khedkar. She cracked the UPSC civil services exam. 2023 batch IAS officer. Rank 841. But before she cracked it, she gamed it. She appeared under the OBC non-creamy layer category. Her father, a retired government officer, had declared assets worth Rs 40 crore while contesting a Lok Sabha election. OBC non-creamy layer requires a family income below Rs 8 lakh per year. She also submitted disability certificates claiming locomotor disability. Hearing impairment. Low vision. Mental illness. Across different exam attempts, she submitted different disabilities to different authorities. Delhi Police investigation found the certificates were forged and fabricated. The issuing medical authority in Ahmednagar confirmed that the disability certificate was not issued as per their own records. She also used two different names across applications. Khedkar Puja Deeliprao and Puja Manorama Dilip Khedkar. Investigators said the name changes were used to bypass the limit on allowed UPSC attempts. During her probation in Pune, she demanded a separate office cabin. A VIP number plate on her personal Audi. A red beacon for the car. She removed the nameplate of a senior officer whose room she had taken over. In July 2024, the UPSC cancelled her candidature and barred her permanently from all future exams. Every year, lakhs of honest students study for years to crack UPSC. Many from families with nothing. Many who fail and try again. She had everything, and she still cheated. The system that thousands of honest aspirants trust was gamed by someone who did not need the reservation she claimed. Her name is Puja Khedkar. This is what happens when accountability has no teeth. #Brahmin_Political_Party #DevaJobPortal #SaiDevGroup #SaiSudhaDevaTrust #GenNextDigital
