More trouble for Khedkar family, wealth under lens
Pune, July 17
The Pune Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) today initiated an inquiry against Dilip Khedkar, father of probationary IAS officer Puja Khedkar, to probe the unaccounted wealth owned by the family.
Puja, who secured an all-India rank of 821 in the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exam, has been allegedly accused of abusing her authority. The complaint against Dilip Khedkar was made a few months ago. After Puja’s issue came to the fore, the complainant has approached the Pune ACB again. Now, action has been initiated on the complaint. SP (ACB) Atul Tambe said an investigation report had been sent to the headquarters for further action. He said the name of the complainant could not be disclosed as it was confidential.
“There was a complaint against Dilip Khedkar with the ACB a few months ago. We have drafted a detailed report of our investigation and complaint. It has been sent to the headquarters for further action. The name of the complainant cannot be disclosed as it is confidential,” Tambe said. Earlier, Pune RTI activist Vijay Kumbhar raised questions about Khedkar’s appointment, alleging that she did not fall under the OBC non-creamy layer as her father had assets worth Rs 40 crore.
