NEW DELHI: The Centre on Thursday formed a single-member committee to “verify the candidature claims and other details” of probationary IAS officer Puja Khedkar, who has been accused of allegedly misusing disability and OBC quota to secure a position in the service.
An additional secretary-level officer of the department of personnel and training (DoPT) will chair the panel that will inquire into the matter and submit a report in two weeks.
“The central government has constituted a single-member committee, chaired by a senior officer of the rank of Additional Secretary to government of India to verify the candidature claims and other details of Ms. Puja Manorma Dilip Khedkar, a candidate of Civil Services Examination-2022 and earlier CSEs. The committee will submit its report in 2 weeks,” the Personnel Ministry said in a statement.
