Ms Khedkar has been recalled to the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) in Mussoorie for "further necessary action".
The training of probationary IAS officer Puja Khedkar has been put on hold amid allegations of misuse of power and privileges. Ms Khedkar has been recalled to the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA) in Mussoorie for "further necessary action". Ms Khedkar was earlier transferred to Washim from Pune following accusations of manipulating disability and OBC certificates to gain entry into the civil services.
The General Administration Department of the Maharashtra government issued a directive stating, "You are hereby relieved from the District Training Programme of the State Government of Maharashtra." The directive instructs Ms Khedkar to "join the academy at the earliest" but not later than July 23.
Ms Khedkar, a 2023-batch officer from Ahmednagar, claims to be the victim of a "media trial" alleging that a misinformation campaign has been waged against her.
