Duplicated post market OHLC data for Nifty 50

Hi,

Noticing some strange behaviour in Data API today.

Earlier for a day (checked until 23 Nov '20), I used to get exactly 75 candle entries from Historical Data API for 5-min OHLC data for Nifty 50 (9:15 am - 3:30 pm). This is as expected.

Of late, started getting duplicated OHLC data for post market timestamps. Getting 126 entries for 5-min OHLC for a day. 51 junk entries like shown below because of post market repeated candles.

Note: Timestamps below are in UTC.

I am giving below as timestamp -

from_date = datetime.datetime(2020, 12, 4)
to_date = datetime.datetime(2020, 12, 5)
data = kite.historical_data(constants.NIFTY50_INSTRUMENT_TOKEN, from_date, to_date, '5minute')

Even if I am giving exact timestamp as per market opening / closing time, I am getting truncated entries starting from 12:30 pm IST and till 3:30 pm IST. This is again a weird behaviour.

from_date = datetime.datetime(2020, 12, 4,3,45,0)
to_date = datetime.datetime(2020, 12, 4,10,0,0)

Is anything broken in kite.historical_data API?

Thanks.
