Suspected sockpuppets
[edit]
I.Bhardwaj is an obvious sock who reactivated his 6 years old account only to file this SPI Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Aman.kumar.goel, without having any interaction with me or the other user.
I have listed two users who prefer going after me by falsely accusing me of sockpuppetry as well, and have attempted to file a superficial SPI rather recently.[1]
The first edit to the userpage by both users is also same,[2][3] i.e. inserting a one-liner with image.
Both also accuse other users of socking with IP addresses to edit war him, when writing on WP:ANEW.[4][5]

@ST47: can you also check if User:SpicyBiryani (registered on 9 May) also belongs to this sockmaster? This account shares similarities with this sockmaster since both use the term "summary of the whole"[6][7] and he is currently in argument with me on Talk:Kargil War. If yes then he is violating WP:SCRUTINY. Aman Kumar Goel (Talk) 03:32, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Accused parties may also comment/discuss in this section below. See Defending yourself against claims.
- This appears to be a retaliatory filing since I filed a case on Aman.kumar.goel hours ago. Anyway, good luck! I.Bhardwaj (talk) 07:51, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- @ST47:, thanks for your note. I don't remember using any other accounts except this one, though I might have made some edits without being logged in. To be honest, I don't know how the check-user tool works but I tend to use public wifi quite often and the ISP I use sometimes uses proxy webhosts (which I have complained to the service providers). I'm not sure if that's the reason why the report says I have more accounts. Having said that, I'm open to any actions against me if the community feels I've violated any policy or guidelines, including abuse of alternative accounts or sock-puppetry. However, please do let me know if there is any resources to guide me on proceeding further based on the concerns I have stated above. I.Bhardwaj (talk) 14:47, 7 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
