Manorama Khedkar, mother of controversial IAS trainee officer Puja Khedkar, has been arrested in Maharashtra’s Mahad, according to Pune Rural Superintendent of Police, Pankaj Deshmukh.
Manorama gained attention after a viral video showed her brandishing a gun. The incident involved a land parcel purchased by Puja’s father, Dilip Khedkar, a retired Maharashtra government officer, in Dhadwali village, Pune’s Mulshi tehsil. Locals accused the Khedkar family of encroaching on neighboring farmers’ land.
In the two-minute video, Manorama, accompanied by bodyguards, is seen in a heated argument, yelling at a man while waving a pistol in his face before concealing it. The incident has sparked significant controversy.
