Suspected sockpuppets
This mostly involves edits about Bhumihars, an Indian caste. Two of the accounts, the master and Alok 567, were blocked for legal threats, the latter by me. The other two were more recently blocked by me based on continuing nonsense at Talk:Bhumihar. I didn't block Alok 567 as a sock, even though I knew it was a distinct possibility, because I wasn't quite sure of it, the legal threat was so obvious, and the master was already blocked anyway. Subsequently, before I revoked Alok 567's Talk page access for personal attacks, Alok pretty much confirmed that they had been socking when they stated on their Talk page in response to an allegation of socking by another user: "Why are you so weird, instead of blocking people and refusing to listen to us, just once take a look at our complaint and remove the shudra part, it's that simple." (see here).

I realize that everyone is blocked (although not tagged), but I am requesting a CU to confirm and to look for others. Bbb23 (talk) 21:27, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I've added Pyq123h, a new account who edited List of caste based violence in Bihar, an article edited by Alok. New accounts can no longer edit Talk:Bhumihar because it's been semi-protected.--Bbb23 (talk) 14:59, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
