PUNE: The Pune police have launched a probe into former IAS probationer Puja Khedkar's allegations that a house help had rendered her and her parents unconscious and committed theft at their residence, an official said on Sunday. Puja Khedkar informed the police late on Saturday night about the alleged incident that occurred at the family's bungalow on Baner Road, the official said. Puja Khedkar claimed that she managed to free herself and alerted the police using another phone, the official said. A case had been registered against the Khedkar couple last year in connection with the abduction of a truck driver following a road rage incident in Navi Mumbai. Puja Khedkar is accused of misrepresenting facts in her application for the 2022 UPSC civil services examination to avail herself of reservation benefits.
