Mumbai: Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora on Thursday urged the Maharashtra chief secretary to hold an \u2018impartial\u2019 probe into allegations against a probationary IAS officer, accused of demanding a private cabin and staff, despite only being a trainee.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Puja Khedkar, a 2022-batch IAS officer who was posted in Pune, was transferred to Washim, where she will complete the remaining term of her training, serving as a \u2018supernumerary assistant collector\u2019 till July 30, 2025.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe allegations against #IAS officer Puja Khedkar are a serious reputational hazard to the service. Are you in government to serve or due to a sense of entitlement?\u201d Deora posted on X (formerly Twitter).<\/p>\n
\u201cI urge Maharashtra\u2019s Chief Secretary to conduct a comprehensive & impartial investigation into these allegations without delay. Ensuring justice & preserving trust in our administrative service is crucial,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC), which recruits officers to the All India Services, is known for producing \u2018high-caliber officers\u2019, the Rajya Sabha member further stated, adding that people without \u2019merit and ethics\u2019 are not \u2018fit to hold important public offices.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
