Recreation of Jag Chima earlier created by all other users listed above excluding Sumitpathak who has the same username as the master. Jag Chima was also created by under Jagdev Chima. The current version of the article looks very similar to previously deleted version as far as I remember and the master also recreated his deleted article Junaid Kaliwala under Junaid Siddique Kaliwala so the way they are trying to recover their articles deleted under different titles, it looks like a case of UPE.

PrajwalShinde created Draft:Physique Global and Gaurav Dhingra PG who was registered tow week after PS posted Draft:Jag Chima. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 16:58, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Jag Chima is the CEO of Physique Global, and if you see their contributions (including accounts in the archive) they are desperately attempting to put articles related to Jag Chima on Wikipedia, and both the suspected socks were  at Golmaal Again (please see the timeline) and on some various articles since they were registered. Also, PrajwalShinde was inactive since April suddenly become active to edit draft:Jag Chima created by PG. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 04:09, 22 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Please see diffs below:
 * PrajwalShinde -, , , , and.
 * Gaurav Dhingra PG -, and.


 * They are only here to promote the same people and their business. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 06:09, 22 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I have also added Nialrte a single-purpose account that created the same article under a different title (see Jagdev Singh Chima) in August possibly to evade the protection at Jag Chima. Not sure if this is direct socking or meatpuppetry, but their edits are suspicious. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 08:54, 22 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Based on a link I found on Google both PrajwalShinde and Gaurav Dhingra PG works for Physique Global. You can ask me to mail you the link or just Google their username together. GSS &#x202F;&#128172; 06:07, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Interesting information. Yeah, just don't put any links onto here... lol ;-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   06:34, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

 * I'm not seeing the connection between PrajwalShinde and the others. i.e. what Draft:Physique Global has to do with anything. -- RoySmith (talk) 00:45, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree that the timeline on Golmaal Again between 's edits, followed by 's edit to the same section just minutes later, followed then by another edit by right afterwards - is very suspicious. The probability that this is a coincidence is ridiculously low - especially given the fact that this timeline is when they both first edited the article at all. I also believe the editing timeline of Draft:Jag Chima between  and  is something that's worth looking into further, though the timeline isn't very tight. Other than these suspicions, I don't see what other possible connections exist that make sense. I'm going to need more information that's supplemented with diffs and explanations that directly show a correlation.  ~Oshwah~  (talk)  (contribs)   08:13, 24 October 2019 (UTC)
 * PrajwalShinde and Nialrte, the two non-stale accounts, are from a technical standpoint. I did notice that PrajwalShinde admitted to being associated with the person in topic now. WP:MEAT is a possibility, but Nialrte has also not edited for several months, so no action on that account may be necessary at this time. Mz7 (talk) 03:12, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Both PrajwalShinde and Gaurav Dhingra are Linked to Physique Global as employees but in diiferent roles and locations, and were so at the time they started editing on the topic of Jag Chima, the business' director. Given the disparity in role and location they are likely to be two individual UPE editors rather than colluding meatpuppets. I'd happily dispose of both under that premise, but it's beyond my role as SPI clerk. Cabayi (talk) 07:32, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I have blocked both active accounts (PrajwalShinde and Nialrte) for undisclosed paid editing, per the evidence above, but not sockpuppetery. Gaurav Dhingra PG seems fairly stale so I haven't bothered with a block there. Yunshui 雲 水 08:38, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Yunshui. I agree with the assessment here—sockpuppetry is unlikely, UPE more likely—and I think we can close the SPI now. No need to block accounts that haven't edited in months, though if they return to activity we can revisit the issue. Mz7 (talk) 09:31, 25 October 2019 (UTC)
