 * . The two accounts share the same popular service provider and geolocate to the same area, but one account is consistently on one device, and the other account is consistently on a different device. I'm thinking this could potentially be WP:MEAT (i.e. two people who know each other and may be coordinating). The two accounts have a considerable amount of overlap. In addition to the overlap identified above on Raashi Khanna, these two accounts have occasionally appeared on the same article to insert the same content despite reverts, see e.g. (on Sai Pallavi). The two accounts also share similar edit summary styles, see e.g. . I also noticed that Vikash Sebastian recently attempted to create an article at Draft:Rahul Sankrityan (director). Behaviorally, it seems like there does seem to be some connection between these two accounts—it's not clear to me whether it's the same person using multiple devices or two people working together.

 * Thanks for the comprehensive outline Mz7! I agree that this seems very much like meatpuppetry given the CU findings. The amount of overlap is extremely unlikely to be coincidental for such new accounts, particularly given the predilection for restoring the same content. I'm indeffing the sock and tempblocking Rahul Sankrityan Rao for 2 weeks. I'll deliver a warning on their talk page that any further multiple-account abuse is likely to result in an indef.

 * - please compare to previous accounts for confirmation. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 18:05, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * With additional data that wasn't available at the time looked at this, all three accounts (Rahul Sankrityan Rao, Aishwarya Hegde, and Vikash Sebastian) are ✅, so retagging and re-blocking. -- RoySmith (talk) 22:09, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Looks like a sock to me, they also overlap on numerous other pages . - please indef Shilpha Manjunath as a suspected sock. Thanks, Spicy (talk) 15:02, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I've taken a quick look, and am very confident that this is the same user. It's not great territory for sleeper hunting. Blocking, tagging, closing.   Girth Summit  (blether)  18:31, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Editing from the same blocked range and the behavioural overlap is extremely telling. Blocked and tagged.-- Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 21:00, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
