New Delhi, July 19, 2024: Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) has initiated actions against probationer IAS Puja Manorama Dilip Khedkar for forgery and other charges and filed FIR against her.
UPSC had conducted a detailed and thorough investigation in the misdemeanour of Puja Manorama Dilip Khedkar, a provisionally recommended candidate of the Civil Services Examination-2022, the Commission said.
