Puja Khedkar, a probationary IAS officer posted in Pune who was transferred over “misuse of power, had demanded a separate cabin, car, residential quarters and a peon before joining the duty.
Khedkar, a 2023-batch IAS officer, has been transferred to Washim to complete the remaining term of her training and she will serve there as a “supernumerary assistant collector” till July 30, 2025, stated the official letter.
According to a report submitted by Pune collector Suhas Diwse to the General Administration Department, Trainee IAS demanded a car, residential quarters, a peon and a separate cabin, reported PTI.
She was told that she was not entitled to these facilities on probation, and accommodation will be provided to her.
Diwse in his report to the GAD said it was not appropriate to allow Khedkar to continue her training in Pune.
She was also accused of removing the nameplate of a senior official at Pune collector’s office when he allowed her to use his ante-chamber as her office.
She landed in controversy after she allegedly improperly utilised a personal Audi car equipped with VIP registration and emergency lights, a vehicle marked ‘Maharashtra Government,’ which has raised eyebrows about its legitimacy under official regulations.
