Puja Khedkar’s mother’s video arguing with Metro workers in Pune goes viral

Controversial IAS officer Puja Khedkar's mother argues with Metro rail workers in Pune, following gun-wielding incident.

A video purportedly showing controversial IAS officer Puja Khedkar's mother arguing with Metro rail construction workers in Pune has surfaced, days after another clip of her wielding a gun and threatening a group of men went viral.

In the video, Ms. Khedkar's mother Manorama is seen arguing with the Metro rail construction workers where some police personnel are also present. But the exact date of the clip, which lasts 27 seconds, is not known.

After the previous video of Manorama brandishing a gun went viral, the Pune Rural police last week said a probe would be conducted to ascertain facts, including whether she possessed a licence for the firearm.

The incident in the video was about a land parcel bought by Puja's father Dilip Khedkar, a retired Maharashtra government officer, in Dhadwali village in Pune's Mulshi tehsil, an official earlier said.

Locals had claimed the Khedkars had encroached on the land of neighbouring farmers.

The two-minute video shows Manorama Khedkar, accompanied by her security guards, engaged in a heated argument with the neighbours. She can be seen yelling at a man with a pistol in her hand. She walks up to him and waves the gun in his face before concealing it in her hand.
