Search Underway For Puja Khedkar

Meanwhile, authorities are hunting for Khedkar as the sacked IAS trainee went missing fearing arrest. Reportedly, she also switched off her phone. Earlier, some reports claimed that she had fled to Dubai fearing arrest. However, as per sources, no immigration record was found regarding Kedkar’s travel.

Delhi’s Patiala House Court on Thursday had denied anticipatory bail to Khedkar, stating that allegations levelled against her are serious and “require a thorough investigation”.

Khedkar, who has not been arrested in the case, had approached the court through her lawyer, saying she faces “immediate threat of arrest”.
