In 2019, in her Civil Services preliminary examination, the IAS trainee had registered herself as Khedkar Pooja Diliprao, and her appointment in SAI was also in the same name as Benchmark Persons with Disabilities (PwBD) (LV) – OBC.

He did this despite having a disability certificate from Ahmednagar District Medical Institute for low optic in 2018 and for psychotic depression and occasional optic in 2021. While the District Civil Health Center of Aundh had rejected her application due to “double submission”, the Yashwantrao Chavan Memorial Health Center (YCMH) of Pimpri had granted her a 7% locomotor disability certificate due to an ACL tear.
As of 2022, she was an Indian Revenue Service (IRS) officer, posted as Associate Director Sports Authority of India (SAI) from 2021. He was selected for IRS under OBC division and PWBD (Low Optic). However, when Khedkar wrote the UPSC exam again in that life, he was selected for IAS under OBC and PWBD (MD), which means multiple disability/category. Apparently three other disability certificates helped him get IAS grade under MD quota, but still get OBC quota with non-creamy layer certificates.

He had applied for the certificate twice. “As a result, we rejected his application.”

TOI repeatedly sent text messages to Khedkar on Monday shouting at him to search for his model on the field. He did not give any reply till the time of writing the news. Dr Rajendra Wable, dean of the postgraduate institute at YCMH, Pimpri, told TOI that he has qualified Pooja Khedkar as having 7% locomotor disability. “We believe that her online application at Aundh hospital was automatically canceled as the certificate had already been prepared at YCMH,” he said.
