IAS and IPS Officers who Misused the Reservation Quota and qualified for the UPSC is a concerning issue that undermines the principles of fairness and equality in the recruitment process. Such actions erode the credibility of the civil services and raise questions about the integrity of the selection system. It is imperative to address these instances and ensure that the reservation system is upheld with transparency and accountability. This blog post covers some of these cases in which people believe that the reservation quota has been misused:
1. IAS, Abhishekh Singh
Batch – 2010 (AIR – 94), Quota – General (Locomotive Disability)
In his social media accounts, he is working in movies, YouTube videos, working out, and doing everything that people with locomotive disabilities cannot do.
2. Asif K Yusuf (IAS)
Batch- 2020(IAS) Quota – EWS
He became an IAS officer by using a fake OBC NCL certificate, and after all the investigations in 2020, it has been proven that they obtained the IAS position by using a fake certificate.
3. Priyanhu Khati (IAS)
Batch – 2021 Quota: General (Orthopedically Handicapped)
He was recruited under the OH (Orthopedically Handicapped) category, and many eyewitnesses claim that the person is completely fit, as evidenced by numerous posts on social media.
4. Anu Beniwal (IPS)
Quota – EWS
Her father was also an IPS officer, and she was selected through the EWS quota. It is strange that despite being the child of an IPS officer, she was selected under the EWS quota.
5. Nikita Khandelwal (IAS)
Batch – 2014 Quota – General (Visually Impaired)
She was selected from the General Category under the Visually Impaired quota. However, in the video posted on social media, you can see how she is taking her driving test without wearing glasses
6. Pooja Khedkar (IAS)
Quota – OBC
Using a Luxury Private car with Lamp – Fake Disability Certificate – Fake Non-Creamy Layer Certificate (father was also Civil Servant)
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) said on Friday, 19 July 2024, that it has registered a First Information Report (FIR) against IAS probationer Puja Manorama Dilip Khedkar for allegedly “faking her identity to fraudulently avail attempts beyond permissible limit”.
The Commission said it has also issued her a show cause notice for the cancellation of her selection and debarment from future examinations.
From this investigation it has been revealed that she fraudulently availed attempts beyond the permissible limit under the Examination Rules by faking her identity by way of changing her name, her father’s and mother’s name, her photograph/ signature, her email ID, mobile number and address, the UPSC said in a press release.
