New Delhi: Amid the controversy against Trainee IAS officer Puja Khedkar , who is accused of using false disability certificates to secure her position, similar allegations have now been made against former bureaucrat and actor Abhishek Singh , who was also selected under the disability criteria. Singh stated that he is being targeted for his support of reservations despite belonging to the general category.
Abhishek Singh, a 2011 batch IAS officer who resigned last year to pursue acting, is facing controversy after his dance and gym videos went viral on social media. Many users have questioned his qualifications and called for increased transparency in the selection process.
In his response to the allegations, the former IAS officer said, “Although I am not affected by any criticism, this is the first time in my lifetime that I am answering my critics. And that is because thousands of my supporters are telling me that you should answer otherwise our morale will break. So it is my moral duty to put the truth in front so that their trust is not broken. So this answer is dedicated to my supporters and not to the critics.”
“First you questioned my caste and said that I am a liar, then you said that I am asking for my job back, and now you are saying that I got the job through the reservation,” he added.
Further, he wrote, “You said that my father was an IPS officer so I got the advantage. Let me tell you, my father came from a very poor background became a PPS officer, and was promoted to IPS. He has 3 children, i.e. I have a younger sister and a younger brother. They also prepared for UPSC but could not get selected, apart from this, my 7 more cousins tried, and many are trying, but no one has been selected yet. I am the only one in my entire family to get selected for IAS.”
Meanwhile, Puja Khedkar is facing allegations of securing her position in the IAS by taking the civil services exam under the Other Backward Class (OBC) category and the visually impaired category, as well as submitting a mental illness certificate.
The Centre has constituted a single-member committee to re-examine the documents submitted by Puja Khedkar to secure her candidature in the civil services examination and the selection for the IAS. The 2023 batch IAS officer is currently under probation and posted in her home cadre of Maharashtra.
