No one else has the right to decide… Trainee IAS Pooja Kethkar reports amid controversy
Pooja Kethkar, a trainee IAS officer from Maharashtra, is embroiled in controversy. Their problems don't seem to be abating. He came into limelight when he was posted in Pune and allegedly asked for a private room and staff. After this he was transferred from Pune to Washim district. He has been accused of getting into the IAS through a fake PWD certificate. The central government is investigating. Pooja says I will present my side before the committee. Whatever decision the group makes is accepted by all. As a training officer, it is my responsibility to work and learn. This is what I have been doing. I cannot comment on this matter now. A committee will be formed on behalf of the government and a decision will be taken. No one else has the right to decide other than this. The Constitution states that a person is innocent until proven guilty. Pooja Kethkar said everything will be made public once the committee's decision comes. I am not at liberty to comment on the ongoing investigation. Are you being targeted? Responding to this question, Pooja said that everyone knows what is happening. On the other hand, Pooja's application for disability certificate was rejected by Aundh District Hospital. A meeting is going on between the doctor and the District Collector regarding how the PWD certificate was prepared and the document on which the PWD certificate was issued to Pooja Kethkar. On the other hand, it has been revealed that the Audi car used by Pooja violated traffic rules 21 times. The police fined the car owner Rs 27,400 for violating traffic rules. The fine has now been paid by the car owner. The car is not registered in Pooja's name but in someone else's name. The Audi car is registered in the name of a private engineering company. In the notice, the company has been asked to submit the vehicle for document verification.
