The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has lodged a criminal case against Puja Khedkar, a probationary IAS officer, for allegedly falsifying her identity to obtain extra attempts in the civil services exam. Khedkar is accused of changing her name and other personal details to exceed the permissible number of attempts. The UPSC has filed an FIR and issued a show cause notice regarding her disqualification and debarment from future exams. The Delhi Police's Crime Branch is investigating the case, and Khedkar has also faced scrutiny for misuse of official privileges during her training.
