UPSC had complained, police had filed a case

Earlier, UPSC had complained against her to Delhi Police, on which the Crime Branch of Delhi Police had registered a case against Pooja Khedkar under forgery, forgery, Disability Act and IT Act. UPSC had said in its complaint- A detailed investigation was conducted against Pooja Khedkar. It was found that she violated the rules in the Civil Services Examination 2022. Her time limit for appearing in the examination had expired. Despite this, she appeared in the UPSC Civil Services Examination by changing her identity fraudulently. She even changed her name, father's name, mother's name, photo and signature. Apart from this, she also changed her mobile number, email ID and address. Due to creating a new identity in a wrong way, she got more opportunities to appear in the examination. Pooja Khedkar is accused of appearing in the UPSC examination by submitting a certificate of being visually impaired and mentally ill. On the basis of that, she became an IAS by getting special concessions. If she had not got this concession, it would not have been possible for her to get the IAS post on the basis of the marks obtained.
