Hi @DhruvBhatheja
Thank you for your contribution. I tested the code and it looks good.

Could you please enhance it by adding more validation to identify the basis of the duplication? For example, whether the user was created first or last — whichever can be considered the authoritative record.

If you could provide more details or include that logic in the code, it would be really helpful.
