"Sandpit" sounds like the name given to an account that multiple people may be using in a test environment, rather than something meant as an actual ID.
Actually, it is a pretty common Indian name (Sandip or Sandeep). The 't' at the end is probably the first letter of his surname.
"sandipt", not "sandpit". I assume it's a first-name-last-initial style username of someone named Sandip.
The article currently says "Sandpit"
The name on the forum thread is sandipt. This is what happens when lazy non-journalists fail to do the most basic detail checking. Or seek a more credible source. Or seek an official comment.
Yeah, I read through the forum to set whether this was a mistake in the article. I think my point was that the lazy author was the source of confusion of the name.
