Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has banned Pooja Manorama Dilip Khedkar from future exams

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) in a statement said it has banned Pooja Manorama Dilip Khedkar from future exams.Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) on Friday,19, July 2024, filed a case against IAS probationer Pooja Khedkar and served a show cause notice for the cancellation of her candidature from the Civil Services Exam -2022 and to debar her from the future exams.

The probe revealed that “she fraudulently availed attempts beyond the permissible limit under the Examination Rules by faking her identity by way of changing her name, her father’s and mother’s name, her photograph/ signature, her email ID, mobile number and address,” the Commission said.

Pooja came into the limelight after reports about her alleged demands for a separate office, official car and unauthorised use of a beacon on her private car emerged. Earlier this month, Pune District Collector Suhas Diwase also sent a report about Pooja and her father’s “objectionable behaviour” to the state government.

Pooja comes from a family of bureaucrats and politicians hailing from Pathardi tehsil in Maharashtra’s Ahmednagar district. Her father Diliprao Khedkar is a retired Maharashtra Pollution Control Board officer who now dabbles in politics. Her paternal grandfather was also a senior bureaucrat. Diliprao had contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as a Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi candidate and Pooja’s mother is a sarpanch of Bhalgaon village, where the family hails from.
