The Pune Traffic Police has seized the Audi car used by trainee IAS Officer Puja Khedkar, who recently faced action over alleged misuse of power. The vehicle has been brought to the police station.
Khedkar had used a red and blue beacon along with a VIP number plate on the private car, in violation of the Motor Vehicles Act. She had also got 'Maharashtra Government' written on the vehicle without permission.
On Saturday night, Khedkar's family driver handed over the keys to the Chatushringi traffic police station after a notice was issued by the traffic police department, directing the owners to submit documents of the car. However, the documents have not been submitted to the traffic department yet.
The 34-year-old officer, Puja Khedkar, is in the eye of a storm over alleged misuse of power, aggressive behaviour, and other irregularities in the UPSC selection.
Khedkar, who is part of the Maharashtra cadre, has been accused of demanding special privileges, such as a separate office, official vehicle, and staff before taking charge as an Assistant Collector in Pune. These facilities are typically not granted to probationary officers. Moreover, she has faced criticism for allegedly using a private Audi car with government insignia and a beacon light.
