“Proving Me Guilty By Media Trial Wrong”: Trainee IAS Officer Puja Khedkar
Puja Khedkar, the trainee IAS officer in the eye of a massive controversy over alleged misuse of power and privileges, has said “The media trial proving me guilty is wrong”. The 34-year-old faces accusations of using fraudulent means to clear her civil services exam, including allegedly misrepresenting herself under the physical disabilities and non-creamy layer of OBC categories.
“Our Indian Constitution is based on the fact innocent until proven guilty. So, media trial proving me guilty is actually wrong. It is the basic right of everyone. You can say it is alleged but proving me guilty like this is wrong,” she said.
Ms Khedkar said she will testify in front of the expert committee and she will “accept the decision of the committee”. “Whatever my submission is, I will give it in front of the committee and the truth will come out,” she added.
