I am moving this case from Rtechworld to Ram Charitra Dwivedi, as that was the earliest account. These are clearly sockpuppets. Ram Charitra Dwivedi was blocked on 7 October 2014, and the other accounts have taken over editing one by one as the previous account was blocked. They are all already blocked indefinitely, but the account Rtechworld1 was created as a sleeper while Rtechworld was editing, and pressed into service after Rtechworld was blocked, so I am asking for a CU in case of more sleepers.

 * I'm being extra safe here and only calling these to the above:
 * Please check the behavior for the likely accounts before blocking. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  19:30, 12 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe you may have dug up a second set of socks. (Rajaniphysio, TrueBisector, Satya563, and Soonyam.arya) All four accounts contributed in a similar fashion to this AfD. I don't believe these accounts are related to Ram Charitra Dwivedi as the master account and socks have been quite distinct with their addition of promotional content. I've blocked those socks and gave the master account a 2 week block.
 * I've blocked Rtech support for you, as the account follows the same naming scheme as the previous accounts.
 * I'm holding off on Rahultyagi186, given that we don't have any contributions to examine. Mike V  •  Talk  02:34, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't believe the are a completely separate, and it could be meatpuppetry, but some of the stuff I saw in CU...it's a little hard to dismiss as meatpuppetry. Anyway, feel free to block as you see fit. -- DQ   (ʞlɐʇ)  02:52, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, I trust your call with the CU results. At first when you mentioned to double check the contributions, I interpreted that as a just highly used range. I've blocked the other account and upped the other account from 2 weeks to indefinite. Mike V  •  Talk  04:50, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
