On L&T Technology Services, which Nagoba321 created (and the three editors are SPAs for):
 * CSD tag removal -.
 * TP activity with similar mannerisms -.
 * Userpages of both Drutha005 and Nagoba321 both have something to do with writing, and both created them as their first or second edits.
 * "Kindly help us" -.
 * Linking the same thing on the same article - . GABgab 15:24, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Nagoba received a level 4 warning for his repeated removal of CSD tag on L&T Technology Services. Then Drutha005 magically appears and, as his second edit, removes the CSD for him. Both editors focussed on L&T group articles. Quack! for (talk)  16:35, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Drutha005 is a blatant sockpuppet of Nagoba321; also, the editor was probably heading for a block for using Wikipedia for promotion fairly soon anyway. Even though Technilicious has made only one edit, that one contains enough evidence of sockpuppetry. Apart from the obvious fact of a brand new account jumping in to defend a promotional article against deletion, there is the remarkable fact that all three of these accounts appear to think that an "advert" tag on an article prevents it from being speedily deleted, which is a misunderstanding I don't recall ever having come across before. I have blocked all three accounts. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 20:03, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Clearing up on previous socks stumbled across Pamba23 whose contributions and user page conform to this sock-cluster's norm. for (talk)  07:39, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Agreed. I shall block the account.
 * Since the account Pamba23 was created a couple of hours before Nagoba321, Pamba23 should technically be regarded as the master. Can a clerk please move this case to Editing Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Pamba23? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:11, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 * ✅. Thanks, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 20:24, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

I found it strange that Kalpataru Limited and Kalpataru Group were created within 35 minutes of each other by User:Sweetu0480 and User:Zalapb respectively. Seems a little strange, but nothing untoward. Then I notice that the contributions of Sweetu0480 and Zalapb both include Larsen & Toubro and L&T Realty which rang a bell, The L&T group of companies being a major fixation of User:Pamba23's sockpuppets. Since these aren't recent accounts, and the previous SPI doesn't seem to have run a CU, it seems to me that there may be a cluster of sleeper accounts still out there, hence CU request.

 * Kalpataru Limited, previously created by Sweetu0480 and deleted A7/G11 has just been recreated by Zalapb. Quack! Cabayi (talk) 10:04, 23 August 2016 (UTC)

 * The master is . The available technical evidence is unhelpful. This will have to be decided based on behavior.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:48, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
 * please block both accounts. Both were created within an hour of each other, both have recreated Kalpataru Limited, and both cover a somewhat obscure topic area frequented by other socks of this master. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 22:27, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Master has a fixation on L&T companies, especially L&T Technology Services.
 * Abhsri4 recreated L&T Technology Services.
 * Yamini87 created a version at Draft:L&T Technology Services
 * Benhymans created a version at L&T Technology Services Ltd which was embellished by Kundansinghs.
 * All four socks are SPA accounts. Quack! Cabayi (talk) 07:33, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
