Suspected sockpuppets
Page Redshine Publication created by User:Meghapushkarna. I sent it to AfD where there are now 4 !votes (including from the creator) from SPA accounts. The accounts Harishghona and Nilarts both indented in the same odd way and asked for draftication (both are odd for AfD discussions so two doing the same thing indicates a connection in my opinion). The most recent vote from Nilarts included links to two references that were just published (the 24th and 27th of November) and fall under WP:NEWSORGINDIA which indicates UPE and likely socking (at least MEAT) to save the page from deletion.

 * The page has since been deleted. No activity from any of the accounts other than from Meghapushkarna who requested undeletion which was declined. --CNMall41 (talk) 20:48, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

 * - suspicious behaviour, endorsing a check on the named accounts to confirm and see if this is part of a larger UPE farm. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 10:11, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Meghapushkarna and Nilarts are ✅. Harishghona is using the same connection but a slightly different device; the technical data suggests meatpuppetry more than sockpuppetry, and strongly suggests a conflict of interest. I'm going to block Meghapushkarna for 2 weeks for sockpuppetry, Nilarts indefinitely, and Harishghona I'm going to warn about meatpuppetry and undisclosed paid editing. No other accounts were seen.
