Days after the final results of India's civil services examination were published, two uncannily similar cases emerged.
In both cases, two persons with the same name claim to have attained the same rank in the UPSC exam with the same roll number.
In one case, Tushar Kumar from Haryana's Rewari, and Tushar Kumar from Bihar's Bhagalpur have claimed to have secured the 44th rank. Both of them showed their call letters with the same roll number, and appearance for the personality test at the same time, as per a Hindustan Times report
The second case is from Madhya Pradesh where Ayasha Fatima from Dewas, and Ayasha Makrani from Alirajpur, have claimed to have secured the 184th rank. Both Ayashas showed admit cards with the same roll number, as per the news outlet NDTV.
Each candidate has accused the other of fraud.
