All 3 accounts (2 oldest ones now blocked) are part of an advertising crusade to push Umesh Kaushik through on us. Similar edit summaries such as this and this show that they are the same person.

Might be worth searching to see if there are any others around. These are the ones that got flagged from the recent WP:ANI on Shivajitheking Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:38, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Added Donaterwikifree following the creation of Draft:Vivek Sharma Kaushik, which is clearly an attempt to promote Umesh Kaushik again. Account created just after the sock above it got blocked. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 18:24, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment was going to file this myself until I found Spiderone's report once I saw the assertion of a compromised account. Also, usage of this section on Spiderone's Talk set off bells, although I'm not sure they're connected to that particular sock farm.  Star   Mississippi  22:49, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Clear sockpuppet due to solely promoting Umesh Kaushik once again. First action was to fraudulently add Kaushik to the cast list at Goodbye (upcoming film). Kaushik being added to random articles is a common trait of most socks see  The spam has been created at Draft:Kaushik Umesh only because Draft:Umesh Kaushik is salted. The 'references' used seem to be similar. Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 08:56, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
