The suspected sock was registered on April 3rd and created draft:Palak Sindhwani, which was rejected by me. After the draft submission was rejected, PalakS98 requested its deletion under G7. Subsequently, after it was deleted, Niharika05 appeared, who had been inactive for two months, and recreated the same draft. It was then moved to the main namespace under Palak Sindhwani (actress, born 1998). Sounds like a duck quacking into a megaphone to me GSS 💬 04:27, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
I just noticed that Draft:Palak Sidhwani was previously deleted under G5: 'Created by a banned or blocked user (Arshifakhan61)' who has exhibited the same kind of behavior, such as uploading copyrighted images and creating articles about people in the film and TV industry. Therefore, I am requesting a CU for a more detailed investigation. Please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Arshifakhan61/Archive. GSS 💬 04:50, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
Another similarity between these two and the Arshifakhan61 sockfarm is the use of the subject's name as their username. For instance, Niharika05 created Niharika Chouksey and PalakS98 created "Draft:Palak Sindhwani." This pattern can be seen in almost all the accounts within that sockfarm.

Based on historical data, they are quite Likely to Arshifakhan61. Spicy (talk) 01:35, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

This account exhibits all the signs of being a sock of Arshifakhan61. It was created just a couple of days after previous socks were blocked, following the same pattern as other socks: registering with the name of the subject, creating a page like Sehrish Ali, and uploading a similar professional image, claiming it as their own work (File:Sehrish Ali.jpg). Given this pattern, I'm requesting a checkuser for further investigation. GSS 💬 13:48, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

- Their editing from the same very busy range as the socks in the case above, with UA crossover with PalakS98. So The CheckUser Magic 8-Ball says: Likely.-- Ponyobons mots 23:22, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Blocked and tagged. Closing.-- Ponyobons mots 23:22, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
