Both SPAs, deeply dedicated to Citizenship Amendment Act protests. Tsubodai Khaldun was created[1] soon after Pali Upadhayay was topic banned from this subject.[2]

I can't link to the very particular diffs because nearly all edits by the sockmaster were suppressed for violating copyrights while this new account will require mass-cleanup. Aman Kumar Goel^(Talk) 15:01, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Created right after the last sock was caught.[3] Same interests in Bharatiya_Kisan_Sangh,[4][5] and many edits on Citizenship_Amendment_Act_protests and Talk:Citizenship_Amendment_Act_protests.[6][7] Aman Kumar Goel^(Talk) 06:05, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ST47: I think there is enough behavioral evidence that this sock belongs to this sockfarm. He is still socking on the same highly visited on-going event pages. I don't know what else we need to confirm about this WP:SPA. Aman Kumar Goel^(Talk) 13:22, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Likely. Similar location, but different range. They are almost certainly spoofing their User-Agent headers, which is a point in favor of them trying to hide something. Behavioural evidence needs evaluation. ST47 (talk) 12:07, 3 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Blocked and tagged evidence strong + technical mentioned above. Closing. TheSandDoctor ^Talk 20:43, 4 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
