Road Rage and Reservation: The Khedkar Controversy

The Navi Mumbai police have made a significant arrest in connection with a road rage incident that recently made headlines. The driver, Praful Salunkhe, linked to the family of former IAS probationer Puja Khedkar, was apprehended after allegedly abducting a truck helper on behalf of Khedkar's father, Dilip.

According to Deputy Commissioner Pankaj Dahane, the dramatic incident unfolded on the Mulund-Airoli Road after a minor collision led to an altercation. Subsequently, Dilip Khedkar and Salunkhe reportedly forced Pralhad Kumar Chouhan, the truck helper, into their vehicle and drove him to Pune.

Meanwhile, controversies surrounding Puja Khedkar's UPSC eligibility have been escalating, with accusations of falsified information. The UPSC, along with Delhi Police, has taken legal actions. Amidst this, her parents face allegations of evidence tampering and wrongful confinement but remain elusive from police custody.
