This group has only edited Sunil Abeyesundere (which may soon be deleted for lack of notability) and the few articles linked to Sunil A.
- When new user Spottykitty (talk · contribs) tried to add information to the article, they all ganged up on the new user's talk page, falsely accusing the new user of BLP violations, misrepresentation of sources, and making legal threats. A look at Spottykitty's talk page shows that the same editing style (bolded sentences), phrasing, and constant and instant agreement with each other, is obvious.
- The first IP listed also acted like the named users on Spottykitty's talk page, and looks like the person behind this forgot to log in for one of the edits.
- The other IPs are from a the list of IPs who have edited the article in question. They the only IPs who have edited the article, and are provided to show the range of IPs this sockmaster might be using.
- Cossde may not be related, but is the first user to revert Spottykitty[1], falsely claiming that no source was provided (a poor source was provided, but a source non-the-less). Cossde made one edit to Spottykitty's talk page[2].
I'm confidant most of this falls under

Inconclusive Geographic evidence indicates that it is geographically possible for the above two groups to be the same user(s). Other technical evidence is less conclusive. Behavioral evidence should be the determining factor if there is a link between the two.
