The notice was issued after a complaint was received by the civic body regarding the unauthorized structures causing obstacles to the people. The Pune Municipal Corporation officials tried to hand over the notice to Manorama Khedkar at their 'Om Deep' bungalow, located on Baner Road in the city, but didn't get any response. Subsequently, the officials stuck the notice on the main door of the bungalow.
The notice states, 'We have received a complaint about the structures installed outside your bungalow causing obstacles to the people. Kindly remove the unauthorized structures adjacent to the boundary wall of the bungalow in the next seven days.' Failure to comply with the notice may lead to legal action.
In a separate development, the Pune Rural Police have booked Manorama Khedkar and her husband Dilip Khedkar, besides five others, under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), including section 323 (Dishonest or fraudulent removal or concealment of property), at Paud police station.
A two-minute video had surfaced showing Manorama Khedkar, accompanied by her security guards, engaged in a heated argument with some people with a pistol in her hand in Dhadwali village in Pune's Mulshi tehsil. The incident was about a land parcel bought by Dilip Khedkar, a retired Maharashtra government officer. Locals had claimed that the Khedkars had encroached on the land of neighboring farmers.
In another blow to Puja Khedkar, the Pune City traffic police issued a notice to a private company on Thursday over the unauthorized use of a beacon light on a private car with the 'Maharashtra Government' sign the IAS probationer was found using.
The Pune Regional Transport Office (RTO) had issued a notice to a private company, which is the registered owner of the Audi car used by Khedkar. Notably, the Centre on Thursday constituted a single-member committee for re-examining documents submitted by Puja Khedkar to secure her candidature in the civil services examination and then for selection in service.
