1,2,3,4,5,6 and 7 provides clean evidence of Sockpuppetry which aims to advertise. All the users target the page Akkalkot and clearly support the master. They advertise some kind of "help" somewhere. The page is a frequent target for promotion. Zince 34'  05:59, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

Are these accounts run by the same person? Possibly, or they are different people working for the same company. Even if these accounts are in use by the same person, the "Jagdamb Pratishtan, Akkalkot" only made one edit in late 2013 and never edited again, so there is no overlap or other abuse of multiple accounts in violation of WP:SOCK. I don't think that even this is the case, though; both accounts look to resemble real life names and are probably the names of employees working for that company. What does matter though is that these seem to be promotion-only accounts, so I'll block them for that. As for the IP, it hasn't been active since December 2013 (more than a year ago) so there's no need for action there. I'll block the two named accounts for advertising and I'm marking this case for closure. --  At am a  頭 21:07, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
