Vickram and/or veteran Wikimedians on this channel can know that on 13
March 2015 I had already filed a formal IT Act case concerning
'inter-alia' these gangs of rogue extortionate Wikipedia
administrators hiding behind their anonymity and multiple fictitious
IDs and who have given Indian Wikimedians a bad name.

In my complaint I have asked for "Wifione" to be unmasked and
prosecuted for ruining the lives of thousands of Indian students. My
action was preceded by 2 years of dialog by our side with fellow
Wikipedians / WMF and a 3 month action in Switzerland brought by WMF
against me which then gave me a cause of action to file the IT case in
India.

In our instances, we were subjected to illegal demands and financial
threats since 2013 and my dialog with Wikimedia Foundation's legal
counsel repeatedly ran into a brick wall of solid indifference and
evasions to protect their anonymous admins. It was only thanks to a
proactive Indian board member that things started moving and 5 old
time Wikimedia Admins were eventually "globally banned" in December
2014 as a result of coordinated efforts between veteran members of the
WIKIMEDIA community who had seceded in 2008 from the WMF's "projects"
after realizing what d****b*gs they were.
