Following the exposure of fraud involving Maharashtra’s renowned trainee IAS officer Pooja Khedkar, the Gujarat government has commenced an investigation against four of its IAS officers. These officers, belonging to the Gujarat cadre, secured their IAS positions using disability certificates. The General Administration Department (GAD) of the Gujarat government has initiated this probe, which includes three junior officers and one senior-level officer.
In light of the Pooja Khedkar controversy, the Gujarat government is exercising heightened caution in this matter. The investigation aims to ensure the integrity of the selection process and address any potential misuse of disability certifications. This proactive step by the Gujarat government underscores its commitment to transparency and accountability in its administrative processes.
