They are all editing in the same area. The master first hijacked Chandan Madan the same day they were registered and then created a separate article under Chandan Madan Actor (now in draft). Then both suspected socks were registered on 22nd and immediately started editing Dard Ka Rishta (TV series) and Tyjm123 uploaded File:Chandan madan.jpg.

 * I agree that these all (plus one more I found - Dhr2324) appear to be the same person (or working together) given their singleminded interest in this particular actor and overlap on that draft. all. I've also semi'd Chandan Madan to prevent further disruption. Since Commons has blocked Dmjoshi and Tyjm as socks, I'm also filing a lock request for everyone here. Closing.

Dhr90 similar username as their previous sock created Draft:Dard Ka Rishta - (TV Series) also under Draft:Dard ka Rishta ~ TV Series ‎ and Gazal288 became active a couple of days after their socks were blocked and moved Draft:Dard Ka Rishta (TV series) to main.

 * Dhr90 is ✅ to Dmjoshi12. Gazal288 is but . Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 00:06, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * In addition to the possible-unlikely on Gazal288, the master edits on mobile and Gazal288 does not. Closing. -- RoySmith (talk) 17:53, 7 January 2021 (UTC)

 * Oddly, their versions of Chandan Madaan are fairly different, but they either copy-paste moved Draft:Dard_Ka_Rishta_(TV_series) or wrote the exact same article. If nothing else, they're both mercs for the same subject. Tagged, already globally locked. Closing. GeneralNotability (talk) 03:12, 7 February 2021 (UTC)

I don't know anything about this sockfarm, but I noticed the recreation of Honey Bunny Ka Jholmaal, which was identical to its deleted version, so I decided to look around, because recreating an article that was deleted via discussion just looks shady.
 * All the reported usernames look like throw-aways and they're all capitalised.
 * HUGJ1234 edited Draft:Honey Bunny ka Johlmaal.
 * Here, three of the reported accounts intersect with one another.
 * was blocked as a sock of Dmjoshi12.
 * Here OCJ77 adds a bunch of character descriptions. These are subsequently deleted by another editor. They are restored by OMCE123 on 10 February 2021 about a half-hour after they were deleted. Note that the OMCE123 account was created on 27 January 2021 and sat dormant until that account. Y'know, like a sleeper.
 * The character descriptions were again deleted by an editor on 12 February. They were restored by yet another throw-away, USGCC.

Ducky, but a CU will be necessary to spot other sleepers. I've done most of the blocking and deletion of apparent articles and drafts. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:05, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Another new user, with overlap with the puppeteer. Most of their activity was on Draft:Chandan Madan (Indian Television Actor), which was deleted, so I am not sure if the puppeteer had anything to do with that prior to its deletion.  Onel 5969  TT me 09:59, 22 April 2023 (UTC)

 * The results for this are complicated:
 * to this case [ Jha09 -- Ivanvector (Talk/Edits)] as it's stale and I don't have any data on it
 * to Sockpuppet investigations/AayatS, who some of the more recently investigated socks in this cases turned out to be
 * ✅ to
 * These two are currently tagged as suspected to Sockpuppet investigations/Amanheheh337, but both behavioural and technical evidence strongly contradict that finding. I would interpret the technical data as - Amanheheh337 switches between a variety of devices while this group uses a single, different device.
 * also ✅ to, who in turn is confirmed to the confirmed group above. They are tagged as suspected to Sockpuppet investigations/Dmjoshi12. That case is stale, but data from past checks and common interest in Chandan Madan bring me to a conclusion.
 * please copy this report to Sockpuppet investigations/Dmjoshi12 and re-tag the socks listed here, you can use proven, and please remove the altmaster tags. Thanks. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 17:10, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Moved case from WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Jha09 and retagged socks as requested. Closing. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 18:53, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

Nothing that can be done with the IP, but in case it's helpful in keeping these from going stale. Overlap with Jha09 but the draft was pre block so not G5. Star  Mississippi  19:18, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
