I've just added Sarojupreti and Bibekbhurtel5 to the list. Both are already blocked (Sarojupreti seems to have been deemed the sockmaster of them all), but I'm including Bibekbhurtel5 as I think that makes it more obvious that Beebek bhurtel is also a sock.

I came across this user and I have been watching it for a month. The more the user edits, the more my suspicions rises that this user could be a sock of [[User:Sarojupreti|Sarojupreti]] because of the same editing patterns of [[User:Tiger Gang|Tiger Gang]]. I'm listing below the evidences.
* The username are similar to each other. The word '''Upreti''' is used in both usernames.
* Has been editing it's userpage and adding contents like navigation boxes, just like [[User:Nepali keto62|Nepali keto62]] & [[User:Tiger Gang|Tiger Gang]] did before. When the user created it's [[User:Krrish Upreti/Milestones|milestones userspace template]] added to it's userpage ({{diff|User:Krrish Upreti|735402986|735376879|userpage diff1}}), that raised my suspicion even more that this could be a sock.
* The user has be editing articles which were edited by [[User:Tiger Gang|Tiger Gang]] before.
# edited [[Dance Plus (season 2)]] ({{diff|Dance Plus (season 2)|735490977|735490382|diff1}}) which was created by Tiger Gang and was also edited by another sock [[User:Nepali Bibek|Nepali Bibek]]. ({{diff|Dance Plus (season 2)|735490977|730667238|Tiger Gang diff 1}}) ({{diff|Dance Plus (season 2)|735490977|730298499|Nepali Bibek diff 1}})
# edited [[Dance Plus]] ({{diff|Dance Plus|735485812|734334722|diff2}}) ({{diff|Dance Plus|735487088|735485812|diff3}}) ({{diff|Dance Plus|735488649|735487491|diff4}}) which edited by Tiger Gang before. ({{diff|Dance Plus|735488649|730615070|Tiger Gang diff 2}})
# heavily edited [[Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (season 9)]] ({{diff|Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (season 9)|735484945|735484519|diff 5}}) which was edited by Tiger Gang a month back.({{diff|Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa (season 9)|735484945|729865819|Tiger Gang diff 3}}).
These are the behavioural evidences. I am requesting a checkuser to verify technical evidences. [[User:Ayub407|<span style="color:#FF0000;">Ayub</span><span style="color:#000000;">407</span>]]<sup>[[User talk:Ayub407|<span style='color: black;'>talk</span>]]</sup> 08:17, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

Okay, while [[User:Hell Rider|Hell Rider]] didn't edit much here, but contributed a lot at Nepali Wikipedia. The [https://ne.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AA%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0%E0%A4%AF%E0%A5%8B%E0%A4%97%E0%A4%95%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BE_%E0%A4%B5%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%B0%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%A4%E0%A4%BE:Hell_Rider userpge] of Hell Rider at Nepali Wikipedia is similar to [[User:Nepali Bibek|Nepali Bibek]] here ({{diff|User:Nepali Bibek|730631714|730631077|diff1}}). A simple google translate of the userpage at Nepali wikipedia shows that both users were born in  11 March 2001, from Jhapa and lives in Shivasatakshi Municipality.

Recreation of [[Lalit Bisht]] previously created by SRZA002. The suspected sock is only here to promote Lalit Bisht and his work ([[Jeet Lengey Jahaan]]). Please see deleted contributions of {{checkuser|Laletbist}} and {{checkuser|Lalitbisht22}}. Thank you.

:{{re|Sir Sputnik}} Sorry actually, I was not aware of the redirect which SRZA002 created in the past, so this looks more like an autobiography which the subject trying to create since 2012 when their first film was released. Laletbist was registered in 2016 and created [[Lalet Bist (Lalit M S Bisht)]] which connects them. The reason for including Lalitbisht22 was the creation of [[Lalit bisht]] but, I just looked at {{Oldid|User:Lalitbisht22|536825047|this revision}} of Lalitbisht22 userpage which I missed yesterday and found them unrelated due to their different birth date so I think his case can be moved to Lalitmsbisht as the master if possible.

*{{moreinfo}} - {{ping|GSS}} This is going to need more evidence. SRZA002's creation of [[Lalit Bisht]] was a redirect, so that doesn't tell us much, and a connection between the two stale accounts and this case has not been previously established. [[User:Sir Sputnik|Sir Sputnik]] ([[User talk:Sir Sputnik|talk]]) 20:30, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
*If there's no longer a suspected connection to Sarojupreti, I'm just going to close this outright. The sockpuppetry concerns among the three accounts reported here are stale, since the most recent edit from what would be an alternate account if they are one person was about two and a half year ago. Concerns over autobiographies are better reported at [[WP:COIN]]. [[User:Sir Sputnik|Sir Sputnik]] ([[User talk:Sir Sputnik|talk]]) 22:23, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
