On March 6, UPSC released the final merit list of 958 candidates, but the spotlight shifted to two women named Akanksha Singh, both claiming the same achievement.

First came the news celebrating Akanksha Singh from Bihar, identified as the granddaughter of Barmeshwar Singh, the infamous Ranvir Sena chief. Well-wishers flooded her with praise. Then, Akanksha Singh from Ghazipur, UP, countered with proof: her official interview admit card, QR code intact, linking directly to the UPSC result’s roll number.

The Bihar claimant’s shared admit card, reportedly from the prelims stage, shows discrepancies. Its QR scan yields a different roll number, fueling skepticism.

Social media is abuzz with theories, from simple name coincidences to deliberate misinformation. UPSC remains silent so far, with expectations of an update by Monday. Barmeshwar Singh’s family hasn’t responded publicly.

Breaking down the selections: 317 from general, 104 EWS, 306 OBC, 158 SC, and 71 ST categories. This rare duplication highlights the pressures of fame in competitive exams.

As investigations unfold, it raises broader questions about verification in high-stakes results. Stay tuned for official word that could redefine this success story.
