A Maharashtra probationary IAS officer, Puja Khedkar, has sparked controversy with her demands for a separate office, car, and house before joining as Assistant Collector in Pune. WhatsApp chats reveal she directed an official to arrange these perks before her June 3rd start date. The District Collector flagged these unusual demands to the Chief Secretary, suggesting it would be inappropriate to continue her training in Pune due to potential administrative complications. Khedkar's transfer was already under scrutiny for alleged misuse of power. Her demands have raised questions about her conduct and entitlement.
