Khedkar is accused of fraudulently availing the reservation of Other Backward Classes (OBC) and Persons with Benchmark Disabilities to clear the UPSC exam.
Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Devender Kumar Jangala today not only denied anticipatory bail to Khedkar but also directed the Delhi Police to widen the scope of the probe and asked it to investigate whether any other persons would have availed benefits of quotas under OBC and Persons with Disabilities (PwD) without entitlement.
“The investigation agency needs to widen the scope of the investigation. The agency is directed is directed to find out the candidates recommended [by the UPSC] in recent past who have availed benefits beyond permissible age limit under OBC quota and those who availed Persons with Benchmark Disabilities benefits despite not being entitled to it,” the Court ordered.
The agency [Delhi Police] should also find out if UPSC officials (had) helped her [Khedkar], the Court added.
