Hello CodeChef Team,
I am writing to bring your attention to a serious issue with my account. During the Starters 194C contest held on 13th July 2025, my account has been marked as “Cheated in START194C”, and my rating has dropped drastically by 275 points, bringing it down to 1206.
I can assure you that I did not indulge in any kind of cheating or unfair means during the contest. I have always followed the Code of Conduct and participated fairly in all rated contests.

I have attached the screenshot clearly showing the rating drop and the cheating tag.
I kindly request the CodeChef team to review my submissions and conduct a re-evaluation of the claim. Please provide clarification on why this action was taken. If this was a false positive detection, I request you to revert the rating drop and remove the “cheated” tag from my profile.
Looking forward to a fair resolution.
Thank you.
