Controversial Indian Administrative Services (IAS) trainee Puja Khedkar has fled to Dubai, United Arab Emirates (UAE) to evade arrest after her&nbsp;anticipatory bail plea was rejected by a Delhi court&nbsp;on&nbsp;Thursday (Aug 1), media reports said on Friday.

A report by FirstPost on Friday (Aug 2) said that Khedkar's mobile phone was switched off and she was&nbsp;not traceable for the last couple of weeks.

<h2>Delhi court rejects Khedkar's anticipatory bail</h2>

The FirstPost report said that the speculations of Khedkar fleeing to Dubai came moments after the&nbsp;Patiala House court in Delhi&nbsp;rejected her anticipatory bail plea. The court said that the allegations against Khedkar were serious and required a thorough probe.

“Custodial interrogation of the accused is required to unearth the whole conspiracy and to establish the involvement of the other persons involved in the conspiracy,"&nbsp;Additional Sessions Judge Devender Kumar Jangala said.

<h2>UPSC cancels Khedkar's provisional candidature</h2>

A day before her bail plea was rejected, the UPSC&nbsp;cancelled her provisional candidature and permanently debarred her from taking all the exams or selections in the future.

The UPSC&nbsp;filed a case against Khedkar for allegedly fraudulently availing the benefits of quota by faking her identity to take the civil services examination beyond the permissible number of attempts.
