Disputes related to Pooja’s Disability Certificate
- Pooja Khedkar’s address ‘plot number 53, Dehu Aladi Road, Talavade, Pimpri Chinchwad, Pune’ were written in the disability certificate. Whereas there is no house on this address, but a factory named Thermovarta Engineering Company. Pooja’s Audi which was seized was registered in the name of this company.
- Under government rules, Aadhaar card is mandatory for making disability certificate, but ration card was installed in the certificate of worship.
- Several disability certificates of Pooja have been revealed since the selection in UPSC from handicapped quota. Pooja Khedkar handed over 2 disabled certificates issued by Ahmednagar District Civil Hospital in 2018 and 2021 to UPSC.
- Pooja had taken an appointment several times for medical examination in Delhi to confirm her disability certificate, but later submitted a report in a private hospital to UPSC.
- Yashwant Rao Chavan Memorial (YCM) Hospital has made it clear that there was no mistake in making Pooja Khedkar’s locomometer certificate. In the certificate, Pooja was described as 7% locomometer disability. The hospital operates Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation.
- Pooja claimed in an affidavit to UPSC that she is mentally disabled and also has difficulty in seeing. Pooja had refused to give a medical test 6 times, while it is necessary to give medical tests.
- According to several media reports, Pooja’s first medical test was scheduled in Delhi AIIMS in April 2022. He refused to join it, citing Kovid being positive.
4 arguments of worship against UPSC action
- Under the All India Services Act, 1954 and Trainee Rules, only DOPT (Department of Personnel and Training) can take action, which is according to Rule 19 of the CSE 2022 Rules.
- There has been no change in his name or surname from 2012 to 2022, nor has he provided any wrong information about himself to UPSC.
- UPSC was identified through biometric data. The Commission has not found any document duplicate or fake.
- All other data including educational certificate, Aadhaar card, date of birth and personal information remain correct in the detailed application form (DAF).
UPSC had told- given Pooja 2 times, but the answer did not come
- Pooja broke the rules: UPSC said that a show cause notice (SCN) was issued on July 18 to give an examination of civil services more than the limit to change identity. It said that Pooja had to give her reply till 25 July, but she sought time till August 4 to gather the documents required for her reply. The Commission said, he was again given time till 3:30 pm on July 30, but he did not respond.
- Check 15,000 data, it was not known how many attampts Pooja gave: Due to the case of Khedkar, UPSC examined the data of more than 15,000 recorded candidates from 2009 to 2023. It was found that no other candidate other than him did not give more attention than the prescribed atampt under the CSE rules. Miss Pooja Manorama Dilip Khedkar’s case was the only case. Many times he had taken the exam not only by changing his name, but also his parents’ name, so UPSC’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) could not ascertain the number of his attams. UPSC is in the process of further strengthening its sop, so that such cases do not happen again in the future.
