Suspected sockpuppets

 * Master is, by his own userpage admission, Anshu Dikshant. On that account, he worked extensively to promote himself and his associate Manoj Bhawuk, as can be seen on his talkpage.

(The block of AITS0 is also justifed as a uw-spamublock.) Closing. --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 10:08, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
