Moreover, Puja Khedkar's father and former civil servant Dilip Khedkar has familial relations with Pankaja Munde. Dilip even offered prayers at the Mohtadevi Temple in Ahmednagar, vowing to offer a 1.5 kg silver crown to the goddess if Munde was nominated to either the Lok Sabha or the Rajya Sabha. Later, he fulfilled his vow by offering a silver crown to the goddess after the BJP fielded Munde from the Beed Lok Sabha seat.
Further, Puja's uncle, Manik Khedkar, has been the taluka president of the BJP for five years. These connections have raised eyebrows, especially in light of Puja's alleged misuse of the disability and other backward class (OBC) quota to secure a position in the IAS.
In other developments, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has issued a notice to Manorama Khedkar, directing the removal of unauthorized structures adjacent to the boundary wall of their bungalow within seven days. Additionally, an FIR has been filed against Puja Khedkar's mother, father, and four others for allegedly threatening a local farmer in Pune's Mulshi taluka.
The 34-year-old trainee IAS officer has been at the center of controversy after being transferred from Pune to Washim for allegedly demanding a separate cabin, official residence, and support staff before taking charge as the Assistant Collector in Pune.
