Best next moves
Confirm official website linkage for @rvikhepatil_official
The profile looks authentic, but an official website link would make attribution even stronger and reduce the chance of a managed lookalike account.
Review the X account @RVikhePatil for cross-platform consistency
The X profile carries the same name and office description, so it is a useful control point for confirming that the Instagram presence is part of the same identity.
Check the Facebook profile tied to Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil
Facebook search results show a matching name, but the evidence is thinner there, so it is worth checking for shared links, photos, or official references.
Monitor lookalike Instagram accounts
A few related Instagram results surfaced, including fan-style handles, and these can mislead users if they begin copying the official branding.
