Identical vote to suspected master,, in AfD of article started by suspected master.  Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 09:18, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Noted also by User:Theroadislong, .-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 09:33, 29 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Parallel case (opened on an account that showed up later to the AfD/article, but was created on the same day as Vtbn21): Sockpuppet investigations/Soham Lahiri 1, opened by User:RandomCanadian.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 05:55, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * You need to put the case under the name of the oldest account. In this case if you look at the account creation log you will see that Soham Lahiri was created on 9 March; Vtbn on 29 March and Mukher on 29 April... Suggest a clerk merge this with the SPI I filed; I'll add the latest account to my existing report there. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 15:43, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * , When filed on 29 April, it was without Soham Lahiri 1, and was properly filed in the right location. Vtbn21 is the most heavily used account here as well (85 edits on enwiki, edits to 3 other wikis, and a block on bnwiki for "একাধিক অ্যাকাউন্টের অপব্যবহার" (abuse of multiple accounts - from after this SPI was filed), compared to Soham Lahiri 1's 6 edits), and the behavioral link of Vtb21 to Mukherjee1 and the IP is stronger. In any event merging cases is something left to SPI clerks.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 15:52, 3 May 2021 (UTC)


 * IP 43.251.171.102 (no CU on IP, obviously) added due to vote with similar wording to the suspected master and sock above.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 02:14, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Added Soham Lahiri 1, as this newly created SPA showed up to approve the AfC submission while the article was at AfD: .-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 05:53, 3 May 2021 (UTC)

 * Blocking AniksDutta (mentioned in the report below) and the other accounts in this report indef for multiple votes at AfD and editing the same page(s) with multiple accounts. Blocking IP 1 week. Tagging as suspected / proven to the oldest account which is AniksDutta. Close. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 23:27, 11 May 2021 (UTC)

All of the above seem to be engaging either in self-promotion or in UPE about Soham Lahiri, which is currently at AfD. Their behaviour, as regards working on the same (rejected at AfC) draft is also quite suspicious. I don't think any CU is required here (the IP is notably very strongly quacking). In addition to any actions about the socking, suggest salting the affected draft/main space pages. RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 13:55, 1 May 2021 (UTC)


 * Note parallel open existing case: (with an additional user) Sockpuppet investigations/Vtbn21.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 05:54, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Additional account added here. Cheers, RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 15:46, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Added yet another one. Compare the !votes here and here - the WP:DUCK couldn't be quacking louder. Also means this might need moving to the newly-discovered older account... RandomCanadian (talk / contribs) 16:30, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
