Pooja Khedkar’s investigation revealed that she used fake documents to get selection in UPSC.
Trainee IAS Pooja Khedkar, surrounded in controversies, was granted anticipatory bail by the Supreme Court on Wednesday. During the hearing, the court said- cooperate in the investigation, otherwise it will take strict decisions. Earlier, SC had banned Pooja’s arrest till 21 May.
The bench of Justice BV Nagaratna and Satish Chandra Sharma heard Pooja’s anticipatory bail plea. Delhi Police reprimanded for a slow investigation into the case and directed to complete the investigation as soon as possible.
Pooja Khedkar is accused of cheating on the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examination to take reservation from other Backward Classes (OBC) and disabled quota.
The Supreme Court had said- the case is not being taken seriously The Supreme Court had said that nothing concrete has been revealed in the investigation so far. It seems that the case is not being taken seriously.
The apex court questioned Delhi Police as to why Pooja has not been questioned till now? In response, the police said that there is no cooperation from Pooja for questioning. However, Pooja’s lawyer denied the police claim that she was available for investigation, but she was not called for questioning.
Supreme Court overturned the order of Delhi High Court The Supreme Court had overturned the Delhi High Court’s order of 23 December 2024. Senior advocate Siddharth Luthra, appearing for Pooja, said that there are some such comments in the High Court order which may be used against Pooja when the trial starts. On this, the bench issued a notice to the UPSC and the Delhi government.
The Delhi High Court made strict remarks, dismissing Pooja’s anticipatory bail plea. The court had said that it is not only fraud with a constitutional body but also with society and the whole country. The High Court had admitted that Pooja’s parents were in big positions. This indicates the possibility of collusion with influential persons.
Earlier, Delhi’s Patiala House Court rejected Pooja’s anticipatory bail plea on 1 August 2024. After this, Pooja reached the Delhi High Court.
