        I recently searched my name on Google and found a **2019 university result PDF** from a **Tamil Nadu university** that includes my full name and my father’s full name. I have never studied there. I have the PDF, which contains a **register number and roll number**.

        Could this be a case of impersonation? What steps should I take to address this? Looking for legal advice on how to proceed.

          Apart from names any other information? Like picture, signature, adress etc.. You can’t sue someone cuz of a name alone. There should be clear information that points towards you.

                      It is odd because my father’s name consists of a first name, a middle name, a last name, and an initial, and it is exactly the same.

                          ok so the odds are maybe low for his father’s name consist same first name, a middle name, a last name, and an initial but not zero. So you can’t do anything unless your any unique id, number is there. The most you can do is you can file a case against them(or maybe ask them first), asking for details of that student from that university. so if they prove that someone else with same details is there you can’t do anything if not then your lawyer will Handle the rest.

                        Most likely that it is a coincidence. India has a huge population and it is unlikely that someone is impersonating you for a university degree. Why would someone even do that?

                            I don’t think it is a coincidence to use my name and my father’s full name, which consists of three names with initials.

                                Is there any reason to impersonate you? There are many people who have same names (including father’s name). It is not something uncommon.

                                    I don’t know if there is any reason for someone to impersonate me, but I am freaked out after seeing my name and my father’s name in a random university result.

                                      In India, there are so many similar names in those generation period. Exact same including initials.

                                      Check out the roll number . Your name or your father’s name does not matter until and unless your roll number matches any of your previous exam’s roll number .

                                        Anonymously try to contact the university for details.

                                            what’s the point in anonymously contacting the uni?
                                            “Hello, i don’t want to reveal my name but someone’s using my name and father’s name.”
                                            “Okay, what’s the name?”
                                            “It’s **insert name**” 🗿

                                              I googled my name and found a person 13 years older than me with the same name and father’s name. So this is a coincidence that happens more than you realise and it’s not impersonation.

                                                      Probably in your case the father-son duo name isn’t that common. Mine was the 5th result on a full name google search

                                                        Ya it’s possible, I met someone who met someone who had the same name, surname and father’s name

                                                        I had a class mate in commerce with the same name and same father’s name.

                                                        So chances of impersonation is very low and chances of it being coincidence is very high.

                                                              Obviously. You studied in your own batch, right?

                                                              😀

                                                              But if you had someone else with the same name that is something… 😉

So you can’t do anything unless your any unique id, number is there. The most you can do is you can file a case against them(or maybe ask them first), asking for details of that student from that university. so if they prove that someone else with same details is there you can’t do anything if not then your lawyer will Handle the rest.

I’m tired of arguing with people like you. You don’t even know what the name is, yet you keep insisting it’s a coincidence.

I will suggest you file a RTI request and ask for details of candidate other than names..then you will know if it is a case of impersonation or not
