These two are very clearly the same user based on overlap and shared interest in Manoj Verma. I also suspect based on their userpages sharing content they are the same person. I don't want to link directly since I suspect it's OSable but those with rights should be able to view what I am referring to on each users page and if a funct would like to email me, I can link them.

See Requests for adminship/NS Dibyojyoti and my oppose (#1) at the same RfA. In October, DRCNSINDIA claimed that NS Dibyojyoti was their boss. Now they claim that NS Dibyojyoti has been hacked and is trying to get them into trouble. Either NS Dibyojyoti is indeed hacked, and should be blocked as a compromised account; or they aren't hacked, and DRCNSINDIA should be blocked for making these claims, and NS Dibyojyoti investigated to see whether they are the same editor as DRCNSINDIA or just an accomplice / meatpuppet. Apart from both starting a premature RfA within two weeks of each other (with NS Dibyojyoti being the later, so not a case of DRNCSINDIA copying NS Dibyojyoti), they both have much interaction on articles, and both seem fascinated by Manoj Verma (an article which was previously created by banned sockpuppeteer User:Chandu Kumar Potter apparently, but with whom there is no other obvious overlap in edits).

Rather blatant sockpuppetry/CU-block evasion. The TTP1233 account was created on 27 Dec 2020, just four days after the blocked NS Dibyojyoti's final edit (in which he had asked "only allow me to create a new account as well"). TTP1233 then, claiming to be "a new editor", shows up at WP:REFUND asking for the undeletion of Sujit Bose (Indian politician), which had recently been G5'd as one of NS Dibyojyoti's creations. The editor interaction tool ( gives lists a mile long, which is particularly difficult to explain since these accounts have relatively few edits. And to top it all off, TTP1233's userpage claims his name is Jyoti Roy from Barrackpore, India, while NS Diyojyoti's userpage claimed his name was Dibyojyoti Roy Chowdhury from Barrackpore, India. There's plenty of additional evidence (linguistic, etc.) that I can provide if requested, but the above should be more than sufficient to justify a behavioral block.

 * . I ran a check on these users based on information from a simplewiki checkuser. On simplewiki, these users have been blocked as sockpuppets of each other. TTP1233 was blocked on enwiki on September 4, 2022, so the creation of and continued editing with the DMK-C5 account the very next day on September 5 is a violation of the sockpuppetry policy as block evasion., closing.

 * I'm on mobile and can't do the merge myself right now, but I believe this should be moved to Sockpuppet investigations/NS Dibyojyoti before archiving (see that case's archive and User talk:TTP1233). --Blablubbs (talk) 22:22, 9 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I've merged and retagged. For the benefit of future readers, the sequence of events here is: NS Dibyojyoti socks, gets indeffed, evades as TTP1233, gets indeffed again, successfully appeals, gets reblocked for disruptive editing just days later, and then evades again as DMK-C5. Technically, these are two separate "rounds" of socking because of the TTP1233 unblock, but it's all one behavioural cluster and the entire history is going to be relevant if they appeal again, so I don't think it makes sense to keep separate cases. --Blablubbs (talk) 12:35, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Shared interest with previous socks in antivandalism and West Bengal politician articles. Focus on gaining user rights: compare and, WP:Requests for adminship/NS Dibyojyoti, etc. Using many of the same scripts as previous socks , some of which are very obscure. Similar uploads on Commons with precocious knowledge of template syntax. Both this account and previous socks frequent ToBeFree's talk page. Also, all-caps username, same as, and.

Oh, I should have noticed this. I already wondered why they were messaging me specifically, as I hadn't been recently active at PERM/R. Thank you very much,. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 21:06, 30 April 2023 (UTC)
