Created the account Nurjahan212 just after 2 days since Itsyourimran was blocked. Seeing the names of both users, it is almost sure that both are Bangladeshis, as "Imran" and "Nurjahan" are common names in Bangladesh. When Itsyouriman was blocked, I redirected the article Iqbal Hossain Rony to a appropriate article, because it failed WP:GNG. As Itsyouriman can't remove the redirect, they created a new account. With no edits from Nurjahan's account, they started to create a page named Iqbal Hossain (cricketer) as draft (later moved to article by and then again moved back to draft space when he came to know about sock issues). Although the names are different for both the articles, both articles are described about the same cricketer Iqbal Hossain Rony. Just they changed the name to create as a new article. Both the users Itsyourimran and Nurjahan are probably weak in speaking English. Because Itsyouriman also used very poor grammar in the article Iqbal Hossain Rony, while Nurjahan's article Iqbal Hossain (cricketer) also have many grammar and language issues. Secondly, both users probably have a conflict of interest with the person Iqbal Hossain Rony. Because Itsyouriman claims that File:Iqbal Hossain Rony.jpg is his own work, while Nurjahan also claims that File:Iqbal Hossain.jpg is his own work. And really, both the images are not being found on the internet, so it may be their own work. But if they do not know or have any connection with the person Iqbal Hossain, then how could have they taken or owned the photos of the person. In addition, the content of both articles Iqbal Hossain Rony and Iqbal Hossain looks mostly similar. If you want to see the article Iqbal Hossain Rony, then please see (the version before my redirection) &mdash;  A.A Prinon   Leave a dialogue 07:22, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Also note that, both the users have formatting problem in infoboxes. See and. They both add new parameters below and don't put all the parameters, as they both use the visual editor. &mdash;  A.A Prinon  Leave a dialogue 07:35, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

In addition to that, I got more evidences which I am going to present on the investigation. Nurjahan212 and Itsyourimran both don't use wikilinks, rather they use the entire link. We generally link to an article like this- Iqbal Hossain (cricketer) but both the two users use the entire one like this- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iqbal_Hossain_(Cricketer). See-, etc examples can be found on my talk page. And Itsyourimran and Nurjahan212 both use very long section titles for leaving messages on talk pages. &mdash;  A.A Prinon  Leave a dialogue 11:12, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Note: Itsyourimran was already tagged as a sock of Abdullahalimran001, so I attempted to merge but there was no SPI filed under the master's name. After that I found that "Abdullah Al Imran (Cyber Security Specialist)" was also tagged as a sock of Abdullahalimran001 although that account is older. I believe I've now moved everything to the right place. The following accounts were previously associated with this case:

 * Then I decided that I would check, since the master made some edits recently. Abdullah Al Imran (Cyber Security Specialist) and Itsyourimran are ✅; Abdullahimran001 is stale but obvious. Also:
 * is ✅. This account is globally locked and also blocked at wikidata for sockpuppetry, making this a cross-wiki abuse case.
 * Regarding Nurjahan212: compare Itsyourimran's draft with Nurjahan212's and tell me these aren't the same person. The technical data is close but not a match and I'm not sure what to make of it - Nurjahan212 uses the same networks as the others but with different devices. It doesn't really matter here, they're at least meatpuppets and I'm blocking everyone.
