"Someone Must Have Doubted...": Senior Doctor On Trainee IAS Officer's Disability Claim

Ms Khedkar had been directed to AIIMS to confirm claims of multiple disabilities, including locomotor problems, she had made during the application process.

Trainee IAS officer Puja Khedkar - under scrutiny over claims she lied about mental and visual disabilities to clear the Civil Services exam - was sent by the UPSC, the government's recruiting body, for a medical check-up because "someone must have doubted" her claim of infirmities, a senior doctor and former Director of Delhi's All India Institute of Medical Science, told NDTV.

There are also questions over her claiming OBC, or Other Backward Classes, status. 

"Someone must have doubted Puja Khedkar's disability (claim)... that is why she was sent to AIIMS for examination," Dr MC Mishra, the ex-Director of AIIMS, said this afternoon.
