These two accounts have the same patterns that is several months of gap activity, such as Diranoop is an apparently newly active account registered in December and starting activity within the last month (see Contribs) whereas Georgemohan88, see contribs, is also an account with activity gaps between January and within this past month. What's also is that they share several of the same interests such as the article Subiksha (see history included in link and also comparison of user contribs again). They both have also removed User:JackTracker's attempts of removing these users' contribs, see this and this. Not only this but they also share the same activity timelines so even if they are say, brothers or friends, this is noticeably peculiar and not something even close friends would simultaneously go through. Also, this new user Diranoop has basically immediately started at AfD, nominating articles as if they were experienced, going as far to cite expected and usual AfD statements. Also, looking at their contributions again, you'll see they share the same contribs summaries, always making similar statements such as "update content" and both also focusing with Facebook links (see again Diranoop and Georgemohan88). I also asked Diranoop how and why they are so familiar and starting with AfD nominations, and they said see "Yes i search its, conform the source and quality of article before submitting the nomination. Actually i am a new user but one of my friend support me, he is a experienced person in this field above five year. Thanks for your valuable support"), something I'm surprised to see such AfD nominations as even some of the newest advancingly learning users will not always grasp it as quickly. These two accounts are also intercepting the same article that was nominated at AfD, see Articles for deletion/Subiksha where JackTracker was the nominator. It's also worth noting both accounts know how to custom their signature, see this and this, putting both of their names, including this coming from an apparently new user such as Dinanoop.

The Georgemohan account has made all sorts of claims regarding photographs and copyrights here and at Commons. That and the other sock claiming to be another notable director have been blocked. THis account claims to be a notable actor whose page GeorgeMohan has had an interest in and was spamming copyvios on Commons. Now the account has posted another new image similar to the deleted one. I'm blocking right now for username violation as that of a notable person but a CU to weed out the socks is needed. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  17:24, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

The account is. No other accounts seen.--Bbb23 (talk) 17:56, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Based on the likely technical finding and Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Files uploaded by Georgemohan88 and the level of obfuscation with regards to false claims on these photos, I'm blocking as a sock. Closing &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  18:07, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
