Controversy Surrounds IAS Trainee Puja Khedkar Over Disability Certificates
TL;DR
IAS officer Puja Khedkar, who had previously obtained disability certificates for low vision and mental depression, applied for additional certificates for locomotor disability in 2022. Despite having two existing certificates, she sought a third, which was rejected by one hospital but granted by another. This allowed her to qualify for the IAS under multiple disability categories, raising questions about the legitimacy and necessity of her multiple applications.
