It has been almost three days since the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) declared the result of UPSC Civil Services-2022 exam on 23rd of May. But bizarre cases of duplicate selected candidates have started pouring in pairs for the first time.

After Ayasha vs Ayasha case of AIR-184 with same roll number, now there is Tushar vs Tushar case which is making headlines, an identity crisis once again has come to the fore in UPSC.

There is a dispute between two candidates named Tushar Kumar, both apparently ranked 44th by the UPSC.

One is Tushar, a resident of Rewari district of Haryana, and the other a resident of Bhagalpur, Bihar.

The roll numbers in both the admit cards are also same. Both are claiming themselves on the 44th rank.

While Tushar Kumar of Bhagalpur has termed the admit card of the other Tushar Kumar fake, a complaint has also been lodged with the SP of Bihar’s Kaimur (Bhabhua).

On the other hand, Rewari resident Tushar Kumar has reached the UPSC headquarters in Delhi on Thursday to clear the whole matter.

Tushar From Rewari

Tushar from Rewari told the media that his rank is 44th. When the UPSC result came, family of Tushar Kumar who is living in Rewari city, was overjoyed.

Tushar’s ability was being praised everywhere. After finishing class 12 from government school, he did B.Com from KLP College and then started preparing for UPSC. During this his mother and father passed away.

Tushar Kumar hails from a very poor family and he stands by his claim of being the only 44th ranked in 2022 CSE results.

Tushar From Bihar

Tushar from Bihar said that his selection is genuine and the Rewari man is misleading. He said, “The claim of Tushar of Rewari is wrong and confusing. His admit card is fake. It is edited. It does not even have the water mark of UPSC.”

“Not only this, there is no Aadhaar card number on his admit card and no detail is coming on scanning the QR code on it. While the details of their name and address are coming after scanning the QR code on their admit card.”

He also said that he talked to Tushar of Haryana over the phone. When the exam form has to be filled, during that time there are many such documents, which they asked from Tushar of Haryana, but he does not want to give them.

Tushar from Bihar also filed a complaint regarding this to the SP of Kaimur (Bhabhua). He has demanded action in the matter.

However, UPSC will decide who is real and who is fake.

This year, 933 candidates have been selected in UPSC CSE.
