I was, browsing through solutions casually, it's bad habit of mine, I don't know why, but, after every contest ends, I skim through submissions and telegram groups, and laugh at the solutions that are pretty obviously plaged,directly from telegram, and are obviously not going to be skipped, may be it's just kind of sadistic of me to be laughing at them lol, but today something unusual happened, I came across a submission by beauty_raj for 1633C - Kill the Monster (Submission: 144748330), which was pretty obviously plaged, since it is one of those solutions that was shared in public telegram groups(attaching screenshots).

The most disturbing thing I've found about this is that the user belongs to one of the premier institutes of India with only 0.7% acceptance rate, and that too one of the top ranked ones in them, I am an Indian, and I had always thought of them as some kind of godly beings, and held them in very high regards, so it came as a pretty big shock to me. After checking linkedIn I came to know that the user is majoring in Computer Science, to which only someone in the top 500 out of ~1.5 million people get into.

As you can see even the timings of submission matches with the leaked solution, the contest time in IST(UTC +5.5) is 8:05 to 10:05 pm.

PS: I know you might question my credibility since I'm posting from an alt, I'm not asking anyone to believe in me, it's upto you of course, but yeah I have to take my precautions since I'm living in India too, anything can happen.
