- Pune’s controversial probationary IAS officer Dr Puja Khedkar has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
- Khedkar’s transfer from Pune to Washim has sparked further controversy, with the Pune Police now stepping in to take action against her for traffic violations.
- Upon joining as a probationary IAS officer, Khedkar raised eyebrows by using a Maharashtra Government plate on her personal car and illegally installing an amber lamp.
- The police have revealed that Khedkar’s car has accumulated traffic fines amounting to Rs 21,000, leading to an interrogation.
- IAS officers are required to undergo a two-year probationary period, during which they familiarize themselves with district administration procedures and work in various departments.
- Despite this, Khedkar allegedly demanded a car, bungalow, office, and peon before completing her probation period, leading to her transfer to Washim.
- Khedkar’s behavior has raised concerns among her seniors, who attempted to dissuade her from making unreasonable demands.
- Ultimately, the District Collector intervened and reported the situation to senior officials at the Secretariat, resulting in Khedkar’s transfer.
