Washim: Probationary IAS officer Puja Khedkar has filed a harassment complaint against Pune district collector Suhas Diwase with the Washim police, an official reported on Tuesday. Khedkar is under scrutiny for her disability and OBC certificates, which she used to clear the IAS, as well as for her conduct while serving in the Pune collector's office.

"Women police personnel visited Khedkar at her residence in Washim on Monday, where she lodged the harassment complaint against Suhas Diwase," the official stated. Earlier, Khedkar declined to provide details about the police visit when speaking to TV news channels, stating, "I had called female police personnel because I had some work."

In light of the controversy, the government has suspended Khedkar's 'district training program' and summoned her back to the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration for "necessary action."  PTI
