Very interesting. It seems obvious that he really was cheating:

":In fact, right through the year, Umakant has been among those under
suspicion of using unfair means to gain the desired results. Umakant
began the year at a modest 1933 and, after playing just 64 games,
reached a whopping 2484 on October 1. During this period, Umakant won a
few tournaments ahead of several illustrious players."

No normal person goes from 1933 to 2484 in just oner year.
