Today I want to talk about Psychotic_D AKA Dhruvil Kakadiya from Nirma University who claims to be a LEGIT IM but the reality is far from LEGIT. Today another blog was written by a person exposing him for the person he is but him and his so called friends made that blog vanish. Thats the platform of Codeforces for you where exposing cheater is secondary and cheating and maintaining their rating in anyway possible is primary. So, here we are with another blog with more proof that Dominater069 requested. Below are some of the past contests submission done by Psychotic_D which he claims is done because to check if he can solve harder problem and maintain the rating or not but in reality he waits for his friends group which includes some of the testers, GM, IM. As you have heard his friend wuhudsm has been exposed for using many rejected and proposed problems for the contest which i must tell u Dhruvil had the access to. He along with his group which includes wuhudsm amenotiomoi EndlessDreams Synergism and many more cheats and helps him in his contest. He posted a screenshot in the earlier blog which clearly stated that wuhudsm had sent something which had to do with the ongoing contest which he immediately told him to delete, after accessing it offcourse . Now he didnt say anything about the accusations rather he played the victim card and let Dominater069 fight his battles. Good thing giving your sword to an IGM, now your image is restored ig.
here are some screenshots with weird submission timings.
Now lets talk about the contest submission overlap which would have been flagged but I dont know what Codeforces was doing so it didnt.
192289785 192291152 done by Psychotic_D and Synergism in contest Codeforces Round 850 (Div. 1, based on VK Cup 2022 - Final Round)
210913007 210911490 done by Psychotic_D and amenotiomoi in contest CodeTON Round 5 (Div. 1 + Div. 2, Rated, Prizes!)
210901501 210899768 done by Psychotic_D and amenotiomoi in contest CodeTON Round 5 (Div. 1 + Div. 2, Rated, Prizes!)
222750300 222766998 done by Psychotic_D and EndlessDreams in contest Codeforces Round 896 (Div. 1)
230216236 230229816 done by Psychotic_D and EndlessDreams in contest Codeforces Round 906 (Div. 1)
Now tell me one thing am I delusional or all the submisions are direct overlap with each other with clever changes to remove plagarism.
He is currently running IICPC, which is led by Vivek Gupta acraider, who posts on LinkedIn about cheating regularly.I dont know if he knew about his situation or not but now that he knows he should really take action about it. He is also teaching in TLE Eliminators which in fact is run by Priyansh Agarwal Priyansh31dec .
I have nothing against with that guy and i don't know him personally but i was noticing this for a long time and this cheating and scamming people just with his IM tag should stop.what he doing is very wrong and he should be punished for it.
There is a reason why us indians are shamed for being cheaters and he is one of the reason for it. People like Dominater069 are inspiration to people but it was very wrong of him protecting him without asking a simple question "DID YOU CHEAT OR ARE YOU LEGIT?" , this could have answered all his queries but he didnt and kept on defending him. Now i think he will not ask for more of the proofs as i have shown plenty .
If you really want more then I will give you more but it should be stopped before cheaters gloryify their fake rating and make thier name for themselves.
CC Priyansh31dec Vladosiya MikeMirzayanov acraider
I would have tagged the author wuhudsm too but he himself is in his cheating group so whats the point XD. Below attached is the proof for the accusation.
ps- This is not my id and is my classmate's and he agreed to give it to me to write a blog so dont bother telling me you too have a plag and you should be banned too and you are correct he should be too , The day Psychotic_D is banned is the day I myself will tell my friend to delete this id.
I hope codeforces will take action about this else everyone should help their friends cheat, because thats the message it will send.
Please correct me where I am wrong and help me in making him pay for his actions.
Thank you for listening.
Join the server and expose the cheaters.
wuhudsm
I have provided some evidence and clues to the CF administrator this afternoon(it is UTC+8 here). I sincerely hope that everyone will not hastily draw conclusions and wait for the official results.
Have you provided for or against?
EndlessDreams also playing contest weird.

seems cheated.
You are delusional. The code style is completely different. Maybe they could've cheated by sharing solutions with one another and they came up with code separately but you can't infer that from the codes.I have participated on rounds from people that wanted me to test them. Am I a cheater too?Edit: Looking at the codes again, the fourth one does strike me as suspicious. The first 3 are either too short or too different and I give the fifth one the benefit of the doubt. This blog had so much nonsense that it made me disregard the actual evidence, lol. Please go straight to the point instead of doing a fanfic about dominater being paid to defend the guy.
If after seeing 222750300 and 222766998 you still assume he is delusional, you should probably see a doctor.
Yep. That's 100% cheating. I clicked through 10 random submissions and they look NOTHING alike. Meanwhile these are practically the same minus trying to obfuscate it with
sum
.Ok i didnt inspect this one that carefully. It does look like cheating. It's like the fourth in the list and the other ones didn't convince me so i just skimmed through it
i found another one of fourth pair.
https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1868/submission/222741630
https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/119512 he is a tester of their contest. it 100% a huge cheat group.
upd. another GM found, this time is even closer!!!
https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1868/submission/222742968
check amenotiomoi , It's alt, obviously.
With a 2800 alt, what is the rating of the main account? maybe even LGM. I'm asking the blogger to find him.
he has 3space tab, maybe he is dxqwq?
dxqwq almost certainly is innocent, you should not throw accusations of cheating around as it lowers the credibility for the rest of your claims.
The only good evidence in this thread is the fourth submission pair.
yes, you are right, I apologize for that.
but check my comment, i provide another two great pair.
I humbly accept defeat. Your brilliant evidence has indeed proven beyond a doubt this guy is a cheater. /s
i suppose this is sarcastic right?
Ok, he gave 4 bad examples which hid the actual example.
That definitely looks like cheating. Thanks for providing the evidence. MikeMirzayanov please look into it (the 4th submission pair)
Big fan btw :)
3000IQ yuo correct, sir.
EndlessDreams also do compile error! Must be a cHeater, How someone on a master level to compile error! 208444771
But... This submission is obviously a deliberate CE submission lol.
That's all in the submission. Many Chinese love to spit on Genshin Impact just for fun.
Don't take it too seriously xD. I know and that is why I chose this Genshin CE xD. At first, I felt the blog is whole trash. There are some proofs in mid of trash talk as some mentioned below. But I feel there is deliberate defamation and a retaliation for some past event and maybe group attack on some people. We should wait official decision from codeforces.
I have to disagree?
For me compile errors are purely because I was too lazy to actually run the code after modifying it.
I think it is cheating according to proof and his submissions . a tester is also a cheater i think
These screenshots are from a blog that has since been deleted. They provide evidence that suggests the individual instructed the group to downvote content. I have additional proof of this, and it appears necessary to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation. Moreover, since the setter was involved in a Codeforces contest, it is crucial that a proper inspection be carried out to address this matter.
Stop reposting this blog every time it gets deleted. Clearly Mike has looked into this issue and deemed that he is innocent.
Mike doesn't look into anything until it gets hundreds of upvotes lol. That's why cheaters set rounds and only get punished 8 months later.
My bad. I guess blogs get automatically deleted after a certain amount of reports?
I've only seen this blog, so I can't comment. It probably hit the -15 vote limit and was hidden like this blog unfortunately. I suggest upvoting the blog to promote visibility. As we saw in the comments above the evidence of cheating is undeniable.
I am not sure Mike saw it. But some of the evidences in this post are 100% bullet-proof, unlike the ones from the previous post. Please see the discussion above. Don't ask people to stop attracting attention to cheaters. Instead thank them for doing such work.
You are correct that I did not read any of the new proof presented in this new thread. I read the proof in the old deleted thread which was weak, perhaps there is new information here. But I'm done engaging with this (going to bed).
i found another one of fourth pair.
https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1868/submission/222741630
https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/119512 he is a tester of their contest. it 100% a huge cheat group.
upd. another GM found, this time is even closer!!!
https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/1868/submission/222742968
Upvoted!
It decreases my and thousands of other Indian's motivation seeing this cheater becoming International Master, Please ban him for the sake of codeforces.
Why so many downvotes?
Probably he is sharing in his private discord groups to spam downvotes ig. I have seen many of his friends having communities in private discord groups so this might not be an exception.
also Psychotic_D has total 4 contests skipped. I think that are due to plag
I just cam up with a new business idea if you are from india you can easily cheat in contest and grab a very good rating on codeforces then if you got a job even a low paying you can start selling your course or you can surely become a Linkedin influencer and you can give knowledge to other row rated users how to achieve good rating and teach them valuable lessons on one should not to cheat during contest because it is destroying the cp culture until and unless they himself not get exposed am i right sir????Psychotic_D
Continue to reveal him because the guy mentioned in the blog is an International Master by cheating and he is quite well known in India, he also teaches students about programming, don't know what he teaches exactly, so students who learn from him and mentors who approve him to teach should know about his real deeds and ban him from those platforms and if cf administration doesn't ban his id atleast he shouldn't be allowed to set Or test any contest in future. Also he should apologize publicly.
Psychotic_D do you remember something?
"It's easy to bypass MOSS, I think.
Someday (today) cheaters will know they don't have to share codes, sharing ideas is enough."
Psychotic_D vs Geothermal
pertty sure cheated.
What point are you trying to make?
why so many downvotes on ShaoNianTongXue5307 comment
Why are you calling The Forces a cheating group based on only one member being an alleged cheater? There are a lot of very cracked people in there.
(Also a note for the future: Please don't say outrageous things like the one I quoted above without any proof, it just makes you seem like a conspiracy theorist, and makes people to not want to take you seriously.)
The submissions look awfully suspicious. I urge codeforces to look into it. MikeMirzayanov
Psychotic_D was taking a session on problem-setting day before yesterday. While he was entering Polygon, one could see several CF alt accounts auto saved. Fortunately, I took a note of that and found EndlessDreams's account was also saved by him. Here is the image supporting my claim.
Now Dhurvil is caught red-handed. I urge the ban of these cheaters from CF and ban their IP address so that they may not form new accounts.
MikeMirzayanov KAN Dominater069 acraider Priyansh31dec lookcook pkhaustov
Damnnnnnnnnnnnn
dayum, thats nuts xD
not only, but if you look in his rating graph and number of solved problems from contests(solved 5 problems one and and 0 some other contest). Also look at that him becoming newbie — Master from 33th — 37th contests and 0 problems solved on 29th contest in a div.2 and solved 8 in the div.3 in the next contest.
Since i was hosting this session, i can confirm this Screenshot is true. Sad to read this. But from his skills i am not really sure is he cheating or not... cause not everyone can explain problem setting etc if they are not decently pro.
You say a lot against other cheaters what happened now when the cheater is one from your program.
LETS SEE
It only proves he is not totally incompetent
His true skill might be of CM, Master or even IM as he is currently. However, it is true that he used false means to get here regardless of whether its his true skill or not.
I can't see the image.
It says "this page is not working"
The link is broken. My friend saved it before it vanished so I reuploaded it.
thanks.
BTW its a very big proof and he should be surely banned
page not loading anymore
It is loading on my end. I'll reupload as well just in case, even though someone already did so before.
This is just coping mechanism. This doesn't explain why he was ranked 15th in an offline ICPC regional, he obviously knows algorithms well. Also looking at those two submissions, it's pretty obvious that same question might have same approaches and I find no conclusive evidence that both of those submissions have anything in common. Likewise you may even say I'm copying Div2A from someone else if you find a similar code. Even these accounts that are posting these seem to be inactive since months until now, and all of a sudden a number of posts are made on Psychotic_D all at once (and that too after he ranked 2nd in recent Div2)
But that still doesn’t explain how he has EndlessDream’s account saved with him does it?
Firstly, ICPC rankings are given to teams, not to individuals.(The fourth highest rated person from the same college as him has gotten plagiarized on Codechef and has multiple skipped submissions on codeforces but still his team did extremely well at ICPC Regionals, for instance).
Secondly, This is just way too much evidence for someone to be innocent imo.
Now riddle me this, what does your account have in common with accounts of most cheaters on codeforces, as well as people accused of cheating in this blog
First of all icpc is a team contest, also the author didn't mention icpc anywhere, coming to the next point the submissions we are talking about are div2 C and div2 D and some long codes not some div2 A, and coming to your last point collecting evidences needs time, the author collected evidences and put them against him who is a cheater clearly, I see nothing wrong in all these. If you still wanna meatride him for no reason, go ahead truth will win.
How much will you defend your dear cheater friend? He has been exposed, and it's pretty that he is cheating. It's not apparent that codes are precisely similar, which is also a complex problem. He must have copied there, also. No one knows. EndlessDreams, amenotiomoi may belong to a single person who may be an NRI who helped him there. No one is claiming that Dhruvil is dumb; he might be an expert-rated coder if he did everything by himself, and an expert can achieve rank 15. But he has copied to such a large extent and become IM to flex. He had problems/solutions for Recent Div2, from which he cheated. You are a fucking blind person. If you cannot find any similarity, do your eye test. People are using alt accounts because they don't want fame like Dhruvil and just want to expose a cheater. Keep your mouth shut and comment if you have any solid evidence.
Everyone I saw supporting Dhruvil came from Surat. I request you to be neutral and not support anyone just become he is your friend.
Why is that cheater Psychotic_D quiet? Doesn't he have any baseless defence like yesterday, attention seeker
MikeMirzayanov please ban him
and he deactivated from all platforms too
ICPC is not a one-man show. There are three people, and let's be honest, if the other two members are talented, they can boost the entire team's rank.
Where are you Psychotic_D yesterday you are giving replies but today when all the proof is against you, you are not even coming online and reply to any one of them why???
Can you please tell us how did you have the access of EndlessDreams account is this a coincidence too similarly like how your friend wuhudsm send you questions for testing the contest problem
He posted about the Rank 2 on linkedin and i went to comment there tagging this blog and LOL
This is expected from him he does not want that people on Linkedin will aware of his cheating that's why he did this but this is the time to reveal the real face of him on Linkedin too a post with all proof should be post there too.
Tagging Jaskaran Singh s_jaskaran_s so that he can help us by making more people aware of linkedin community.
It's open Lol and someone has already mentioned about this blog there Lol
I think he deleted that particular comment from his post now if he is not a cheater then why he is deleting them
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7221108869685518336/
someone posted on linkedin lmao
Shame on this coward cheater Psychotic_D the way he taken down this LinkedIn Post. Even Naveen Rawat and other CPers supported to bring this in limelight.
Hey it's really sad to know that he cheated, I used to take advices from him , and he is very inspiring to me as he came from tier 3 college and achieving IM LEVEL Pls ban this guy !!!! ,he is degrading the value of codeforces and respect for IM LEVEL!!!
As a lot of comments above me have already said, the fourth submission pair you provided in this blog is a good evidence for the claim you are making. I hope that someone with appropriate power will take action soon.
I am writing this comment in response to this:
I believe the elephant in the room that we need to address in these "exposing cheaters" blogs is the fact that the blog doesn't immediately go to its main points, which takes more of HQ's time to process and take action.
To me, the important pieces of information in this blog are:
The other parts aren't necessary for HQ or other relevant people to take action, are they?
The more irrelevant information you include, the less credible your blog becomes, and the less people want to believe your evidence. I would really appreciate it if "exposing cheater" blogs were straight to the point, presenting the objective facts on why the person is cheating, not filled with other unnecessary information merely to attract attention.
Some one also uploaded the screenshot in which it is clearly shown that he had access of EndlessDreams account too i think this is also a good and strong evidence against him
He deactivated his linkedin as well as twitter account just to preserve that post about getting rank 2 in last contest and avoid any further interaction on linkedin or twitter. This certainly shows he has done something wrong.
guy deleted his LinkedIn too -_-
X: https://twitter.com/dhruvil3074
you keep defending him and he even deactivated this too. xD
Dhruvil Cheater MC
For Dhruvil Kakadiya only one option is left he must surrender himself and to god and take an oath that he will never do such type of cheating .He has just broken down the faith of many cpers who used to believe that cheating takes place at specialist expert level and once they put efforts and reach above it they will have no cheating competitors .But cheating at IM level is unexpectable and he should surrender himself to this community and delete his account before that he should write an apology.But wait he will just wait for this matter to calm down and continue his cheating sorry from his side we indians do not cheat and will try to stop them .
hah thode din underground fir wahi copy wali harkat shuru
Idk man, he is literally senior at my college
you have latest 3 contests skipped, This makes you no different from him.
Penguin eirr orzzz <333
omg akshansh sir
how do i know number of contests skipped? does contests skipped means getting plagged?
https://cfcheatdetector.netlify.app/
If its plag, then your contests get skipped. But there are few other rare case which can cause a contest getting skipped resulting in few false positive
True. My only skipped contest was a div4 where the problem C was available on GfG. It is allowed to use pre written codes. Yet it gave plag and wasn't corrected.
Yeah, once happened in my case also.
omg master penguinzz is here
OMG Candidate Master Pranav16 orz
How does that have anything to do with him cheating or not?
I just wanted to point out that, "He should look at his own methods, before criticising others"
Also, I just casually opened his profile, and I have the CF cheat detector installed. So I wanted to mention.
I was replying to sayhet
Haha such a coward.
Compare this and this.
I don't have anything to say, they're just pretty much the same.
Lmao he just changed pair to 2d dp .How tf did it survive plag check
That submission is post contest, but that's still sus
im not defending this guy, but that's post contest..
:blobHeart:
He has 4 skipped contests. Contest ID — 1771, 1675, 1669, 1631
Man, He's ICPC Asia West Finalists. I know a team (two Masters and an Expert) was not able to make it to Asia west. It's big thing you know. I'm not advocating for him and he might have cheated. You are speaking up against a potential cheating incident and that is very good but don't defame him. I'm again saying let the people who run codeforces decide and then move on to a decision. But defaming someone before any official statements from Codeforces is not something i'd do or advice you to do. Yeah you may downvote my comment.
ICPC is not a one-man show. His team, like others, had two additional members who might be better. They probably included him in the team because he is an International Master in cheating and might have helped the team to cross initial barriers like the Prelims, lol.
guys are stupid so i really have to delete this.
Read what I wrote again.
You going to ICPC proves nothing. And btw different colleges have different criteria so, many tier-1 colleges like IITs, BITS, NITs have multiple team participating so they tend to select their top teams even though they are above the cutoff and many tier-3 colleges like yours have very few teams participating so to diversify different colleges participating they select many colleges that are way below the rankings of many tier-1 bottom teams.
Dont boast just because you are selected for regionals. for all we care you could have cheated your way like him.
It was an online contest after all.
If you cant support then please keep your opinion to yourself if you cant understand the proofs given.
man you are correct and i never gave him a clean chit and one more thing i used my ICPC reference just to tell him that i know what ICPC really is. secondly, the guy Dhruvil may have cheated but before any official statement its not good to call him a cheater. what if next day codeforces gives an official statement that he has not cheated. You guys will disappear. Next the very next day it can be you whose name appears on someone else's vlog.
You simply don't hang an accused before the trails. Right?
Valid point
Bro _brucewayne_ every day there are many blogs written about cheating and there are even some experts too who cheated according to that blog but they also just see the skipped submission in their contests here we have many proofs against him even some screenshot in which he has access of EndlessDreams account too what this means and most importantly acraider himself confirms that he cheated now if these proofs are not visible to you then you really have to visit your nearest doctor
I didn't confirm he cheated. I said the SS was real. The Authority is looking into it.
I googled the meaning of defame and it says
"to harm somebody by saying or writing bad or false things about him/her"
but as we can see nothing is written false about him in this blog. So it's not at all defamation
Of course calling him, an Asia West Finalist, a cheater is defamation. And he's not a just some ordinary guy. He's one of few faces of Indian CP. I'll 100% accept that he's a cheater when the Mike or some other guy at cf calls him that and yeah you surely do need google to see what defamation is. keep googling.
using google. I found that he was found guilty four times.
He may be good at some level. But he is definitely a cheater.
Hi specialist from tier 3 college who went to icpc regionals using college quota. Your opinion doesn't even matter where acraider and some other igms Or ims have already confirmed that he is a cheater. And also he is cheating consistently in all of the contests of Codeforces I don't trust how he got that icpc rank with some team efforts or contacts in problemsetting team. And if you are riding his dick so much let's arrange a 1v1 between me and your godfather dhruvil but you pls don't come my bro you are merely a specialist from tier 3 you will get thrashed. Now keep your mouth shut and stop dickriding.
hello newbie from i don't know where with -6 credits. i never boasted my ICPC regionals result and yeah i qualified because of college quota but i have never used it to boast. i just told him that i know what a ICPC event is. so just keep your mouth shut.I never gave him a clean chit. i just said he's an IM and without any official statement calling him a cheater really puts an bad impression on the whole CP community of a country. I just asked the guy to not call him a cheater until some officials at cf call him that. so shut the **** up.
then how is one supposed to speak up against someone cheating?
2 Masters and 1 expert unable to go to ICPC Asia West.
Reopening some old wounds.
sorry. i didn't have any other examples lol. (i really never thought this comment would ever reach you.:)
OMG orz 18o3
OMG orz subrat0018
Uh, Codeforces does literally nothing unless someone draws sufficient attention to it (case in point: the recent TimDee situation, where they didn't do anything until a blog about it got 200 upvotes), so I don't think Codeforces will do anything about this situation either, even if he literally admitted his guilt, because they don't care unless it impacts their own reputation really majorly.
It feels so sad watching such high rated people cheating. People practicing hard to reach higher ratings and this is really demotivating. I hope all the cheaters gets exposed
sad to see all this, but we should keep focussing on our skills and i am sure the community will find a way through all this.
His linkedin and twitter profile is down. Very Suspicious
credits to WINNER that this post didn't got deleted. Good efforts sir!
who is winner ? this?
Real
We are carefully looking into the situation and will inform you when we make a decision.
Sir, how are you able to comment without solving a problem, just asking.
Auto comment: topic has been updated by herav_singhhh (previous revision, new revision, compare).
I thought, his immense success would have been due to some change in his routine/practice schedule. I was about to ask him how I could achieve the same. Crazy world we live in!
Yes, I wanna expose this I have the link thru Curious69 comment, I found this
lmao all his socials are down , that pretty much sums it up.
props to people who helped in exposing.
whats up with the down votes , did i say something wrong ? i'm new help me understand.
Better to be a specialist than this.I cheated in one of my earlier contests 2 years back, glad didn't follow that path!!
Though I don't know him personally but I gotta say this. The solution you shared are mostly from A-C and are fairly easy and several users can have same matching ideas about it. Raising your issue on this is not worth it.
Come with your real id freakin, seems like you thought the ones who written the blog are not well aware or are just stupid, isn't?
This cheater should not only be removed from cf but his fte offer should be revoked as well no one knows he must have used this fake rating for the job as well
Check the new blog on him.
which blog ?
https://mirror.codeforces.com/blog/entry/131821
The solution of problem E is for sure written by the Other person (who uses code formatter), He also commented the line, because his system does not contains file named dbg.hpp
A B C D solutions (written by victim) does not contains any spaces in for loop
E solution (written by Other person) contains spaces in for loop due to code formatter, and after getting tle in preset 2. Few lines where added by victim (which does not contain spaces)
Still some people are saying that we are defaming him and he did not cheat
You https://mirror.codeforces.com/profile/herav_singhhh herav_singhhh are a cheater your self I was looking for proves from a long time but finallt I have gathhered enough evidences to prove that Now just wait for my blog coming in 2 to 3 days
bro muzahir26 he clearly mentioned in his blog that he uses his friend's id for this blog and he also cheated here the point is that if he is cheating he is accepting that but it is not same in current scenario that's why he wrote a blog so kindly don't waste your time in writing stupid blogs on herav_singh
https://mirror.codeforces.com/profile/itz__vansh1610
He is correct but if you say looking forward to your blog .
This is just sad Dhruvil was such an inspiration for me but he should be banned based on the evidence :(
Well, now that he is exposed he should come up and tell us why he cheated when he was already in Div 1 ratings. Too much greed is a bad thing.
