These two users became at the same time, within a few days, and edited with the same bias about the same subject matter, the Bhavishya Purana, a religious text. (The edits on Jesus are about references to Jesus in the Bhavishya Purana.) They posted on my talk page one after the other, all criticizing me for including a paragraph on the dating of parts of the religious text. After I asked RajivLal whether he was using more than one account, s/he ignored my comments. The timing of the two accounts, and the exclusive type of edits made, and the fact that both users criticized me like they were one person, make it very hard to believe they could be two independent users. (There is another IP address that I suspect to be a sockpuppet, I will add it later.
 * Evidence

The interest in a specific article on a subject I never heard of is strong evidence to link these two accounts. In addition, they edited on May 22 within three minutes of each other. It's pretty clear that this user has violated the sockpuppet policy. Assuming this is really a new user, and not a reincarnation of someone else, I think the correct response would be to block Rajput94 indefinitely as a sockpuppet, and issue a warning to RajivLal that he must limit himself to one account or risk being blocked.
