Pretty obvious case of WP:DUCK. At the time of their blocking on May 1, Koushik Pain was on a run creating articles of Ashoka Chakra (military decoration) recipients and editing existing articles of other recipients. Morholsantanu started editing May 2 and continued doing the exact same thing. GPL93 (talk) 03:04, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

 * - Definitely NOT a duck - KP was a repeat copyviolator, Morholsantanu has no copyvio notices. Morholsantanu was registered 4+ months before KP was blocked. However, the accusation of block evasion deserves checking and, given Morholsantanu's sleepy months, a check for sleepers would be prudent. Cabayi (talk) 07:45, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Creating articles about Indian Military awardees with copyvio content, same as Koushik Pain. was active again after the block of Koushik Pain. And displays same behavior as Koushik Pain, the user does not reply to any messages on talk page and keep creating plethora of articles violating Wikipedia policies. A CheckUser can confirm the relation. Zoodino (talk) 16:21, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

 * I am replying here because of the SPI notice sent to me on my talk page. I dont know who is Koushik Pain (archives show he was last checked on May 2020). Filer should be using common sense because I am editing since 2007 and have been active even this whole year. If Koushik Pain was me then I had to be indeffed weeks or months ago.

 * . From a behavioral perspective, this seems quite improbable. Siddsg is an account with more than 1000 edits, active since about February 2020, and the overlap between their interests doesn't seem convincing enough. Additionally, Koushik Pain appears to edit primarily from their phone using the mobile interface, whereas Siddsg appears to be much more proficient at editing and doesn't use the mobile interface. For these reasons, I am not convinced enough to run a CheckUser investigation and am closing this case without action. Mz7 (talk) 07:07, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
