Puja Khedkar Lodges Harassment Complaint Against Pune District Collector

Soon after this, she was shifted to Washim district from Pune. The general administration department had taken a lenient view. But later, other discrepancies in her selection came to the fore.

On Monday evening, Khedkar said that she wanted to register a statement. She told the officials in Washim that she was a woman and could register a FIR anywhere. Finally, a team of police led by a woman deputy superintendent of police recorded her statement in which she alleged harassment by Diwase. The Washim Superintendent of Police, Anuj Tare did not comment on the matter.

They have sent copies of the statement to all relevant authorities.

When asked about Khedkar’s charges against Diwase, Chief secretary Sujata Saunik said,"Due process of preliminary inquiry will be followed.’’
