Pooja Khedkar's Non-Creamy Layer Certificate Canceled Amidst Controversy
Pooja Khedkar, who was training to be an IAS officer, had her certificate that gives her certain benefits canceled.
This happened because she and her family have a lot of money and expensive things, which means they shouldn't have the certificate.
Officials found out that she didn't correctly report information to get the certificate.
She is trying to fight this decision even though it might not be allowed.
Her dad used to work for the government and has a lot of money too.
The Nashik Divisional Commissionerate canceled Pooja Khedkar's 'Non-Creamy Layer' certificate.
Khedkar's certificate was revoked due to objections concerning her assets and wealth.
AAP leader Vijay Kumbhar stated Khedkar is appealing the decision, despite no clear legal provision.
The administration's investigation revealed the Khedkar family possessed assets worth crores.
Her father, Dilip Khedkar, a retired government officer, declared assets worth ₹40 crore in an election affidavit.
