The Pune police have launched a manhunt for Manorama Khedkar, the mother of controversial probationary IAS officer Puja Khedkar, in connection with a land dispute case, a senior official confirmed on Monday.

Authorities have filed a first information report (FIR) against Manorama, her husband Dilip Khedkar, and five others after a video surfaced showing Manorama allegedly threatening individuals with a gun over a land dispute.
