Suspected master is indef blocked, so this is block evasion. Vikhyat Dubey Virat Brothers Longhorn is a DUCK based on username and edits to Videocon Group. Vikhyat Dubey Virat Brothers 2 has no edits, but is a username duck. Based on username only, may be related to who is stale. CU to see if there are other active usernames.

 * All three accounts listed above are ✅ to each other (including the master, who has CU data thanks to logins). Vikhyat Dubey is truly stale. No other accounts are immediately visible., closing. Mz7 (talk) 00:11, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

Obviously the same user as User:Vikhyat Dubey Virat 3.0 who was blocked as a sock of User:Vikhyat Dubey Virat Brothers Longhorn; the latter was in fact CU blocked as a sock of User:Vikhyat Dubey Virat Brothers. The first edit of this account (4.0) was this. Cf also this by the sockmaster with this by VDV 4.0. bonadea contributions talk 10:53, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

SPA created only to update Lava International. Note the existence of an older account User:Vikhyat Dubey which very likely is the master (this name-surname combination is very rare in India – try Google search), however edit history did not allow me to link the accounts definitely.

Lava International has an unusual number of SPAs in edit history, by the way. — kashmīrī  TALK  09:14, 22 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Just out of curiosity, what number of SPAs is considered usual? -- RoySmith (talk) 20:04, 22 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Probably should be merged with Sockpuppet investigations/Vikhyat Dubey Virat Brothers, is also unblocked but is stale and is only a username match and general country match.-- Eostrix  (&#x1F989; hoot hoot&#x1F989;) 10:55, 23 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes, I saw Vikhyat Dubey and I'm fairly confident it's the same person. Can such stale accounts be blocked? — kashmīrī  TALK  17:40, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't be better to move this SPI to the actual master Vikhyat Dubey? — kashmīrī  TALK  18:57, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Ah, I didn't see that when I read it the first time. For now, I'll just add  and I'm also going to ask CU to do a sleeper sweep, so I'll wait until that's done before any additional renaming. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:04, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

 * - I know this is uber-ducky from the usernames, but there's enough of these floating around, a sleeper check seems reasonable.  and  should be good accounts to compare. -- RoySmith (talk) 19:10, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
