Suspected sockpuppets

Modyyash: of his 79 edits on Wikipedia since 2012, 61 of them have to do with Mr. Deepak Rao.

Anu231: has had an account on Wikipedia since January 2019. Has had 23 Edits in the last 5 months. Of these 23 Edits 19 of them are about Mr. Deepak Rao and his family.

103.212.141.59: new poster, Wikipedia geolocate puts him just 13 km away from the topic he decided to comment on - conveniently in a discussion about deleting an article. Claims no conflict of interest, but proximity and no edit history outside of commenting on Mr. Deepak Rao is very suspicious.

Edifix: 63 edits on Wikipedia since 2013, 59 of them have been related to Mr. Rao and his family.

Sholu231 and Sholu123: very close in naming to Anu231, all edits are trivial edits (under 100 bytes) except for edits regarding Mr. Deepak Rao and Family.

Rollerscroller: 65 edits since 2009. 64 of them are regarding Mr. Deepak Rao or his family. Has been active as recently as 2018.

These figures are disruptive to the community, and unsurprisingly are the only people objecting to the deletion of or making content for the pages for Mr. Deepak Rao and his wife Mrs. Seema Rao. I do not know if they are sockpuppets or meatpuppets, but in some fashion, they are MOST CERTAINLY connected to Mr. Rao and his family. They deny any conflict of interest.They are using Wikipedia as an advertising platform and to build borrowed legitimacy to support their claims of being Harvard Doctors, Yale Lawyers, BJJ blackbelts, Muay Thai experts, UK Law PhDs, etc. etc. I would also strongly recommend checking the talk pages for Deepak Rao, Seema Rao, and the AFD discussions for the aforementioned.

Also of interest: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Abecedare#Requesting_Your_Views_on_an_AFD

this discussion, which goes more in depth regarding the claims made by Mr. Deepak Rao and Mrs. Seema Rao, along with evidence. Interestingly enough, this conversation was initiated due to Anu231 contacting an administrator and alleging the delete discussion was a form of harassment against Mr. Rao.

Thank you for your attention regarding this matter.
