 * I don't see much doubt that this is the same person. I also don't see evidence that these accounts have been used abusively, and they clearly haven't made much of an effort to hide. That said, it's a problem that they're editing in the same topic area (Panvel Municipal Corporation); it's a problem that they're accruing speedy deletion notifications on different talkpages, potentially osbcuring issues; and it's a problem that they've been asked by an administrator what's going on and haven't answered. Are these three accounts operated by the same person? If so, is there a reason you can't just use one account? Please answer this question when you're next available. pending an answer.  --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 01:14, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Bharat1 2 12pawar made a few edits shortly after I left my inquiry, and has not edited since. Given that there is evasion of scrutiny here, be that intentional or not, I think the fairest way to close this is an indefinite block of the master account (Bharat1 3 12pawar) and the older sock (Bharat1305), while leaving Bharat1 2 12pawar unblocked since they've edited the most recently; I will give 1212 a custom warning somewhere between uw-agf-sock and uw-sock in tone. In the unlikely event that these are different people, perhaps blocks will encourage them to respond on their talkpages to the queries I and others have had. . (Again, that's blocking 1312, not 1212, which I realize is a slight departure from the norm, but when there's communication issues I think it's best to leave unblocked the one that's been most recently active, rather than a less active master.) --  Tamzin  [ cetacean needed ] (she/they) 20:22, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
