Pooja Khedkar’s legal troubles began when it was alleged that she misrepresented information to obtain reservation benefits in her application for the UPSC civil services exam 2022. Both the UPSC and the Delhi Police have accused her of submitting a fake disability certificate, using two different documents.
The UPSC, which cancelled Khedkar’s candidature on July 31, had earlier said he had committed fraud against the commission and the public, and his custodial interrogation was necessary to unravel the full extent of the conspiracy. Khedkar told the Delhi High Court that he was willing to undergo medical examination at AIIMS after the Delhi Police claimed that one of his disability certificates may be forged and fabricated.
The senior advocate appearing for Khedkar said that I am ready to get my medical examination done. First they say that I have changed my name. Now they say that the disability is doubtful. I am ready to go to AIIMS.
