Repeated reinsertion of non-notable deleted link Shantanu Bhardwaj, created by the sockmaster in the following articles Baghpat district,, , , , , along with other unsourced content. Also note an IP range from Dehradun, India, likely the same person was reinstating teh same edits at Baraut, restoring "Shantanu Bharadwaj". Also Rohanchaudhary56 added content "It is a Khastriye Jat community dominated district." , that was exactly restored by the IPs and Times of sports.
