Both accounts have an interest in editing Nepal related articles more specifically those relating to the Chhetri caste and the individuals who belong to it. Both editors also frequent pages of obscure Nepalese celebrities. The editor interaction utility demonstrates they have very similar editing patterns: http://tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/editorinteract.py?users=Airkeeper&users=Thapa+Kazi999&users=&startdate=&enddate=&ns=&server=enwiki This includes pages that have very few edits overall.
On Bista article, Thapa Kazi999 created and edited a infobox: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bista&diff=773672749&oldid=773639004
After I removed the infobox, the suspected sockpuppet Airkeeper without explanation reinstated it the exact same way that it was when Thapa Kazi created it: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bista&diff=773672749&oldid=773639004
It seems to be a pattern of Airkeeper reinstating a lot of stuff that Thapa Kazi created. For example the suspected sockpuppet (Airkeeper) recently created the page Yagya Bahadur Thapa see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Yagya_Bahadur_Thapa&diff=775316437&oldid=775315851
This was a previously deleted page that was created the suspected sockmaster, Thapa Kazi999 and looked almost exactly similar to the originally created article, see Thapa Kazi's talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Thapa_Kazi999#Proposed_deletion_of_Yagya_Bahadur_Thapa
Another example of this is the Ratna Kumar Bantawa page which was previously nominated for deletion as mentioned on Thapa Kazi999's talk page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Thapa_Kazi999#Nomination_of_Ratna_Kumar_Bantawa_for_deletion
This page was also created by Thapa Kazi: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ratna_Kumar_Bantawa&diff=746873086&oldid=746872845
And now it's been subsequently edited by Airkeeper: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ratna_Kumar_Bantawa&diff=775313546&oldid=751214099 Who also happens to add a link to the previously mentioned deleted and now recreated page.
Both accounts also have a habit of adding portraits and pictures of Nepalese generals: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Chhetri&diff=744577312&oldid=744577196 and numerous other occassions. And Airkeeper here working to obtain more pictures of Nepalese generals which were later added to articles that Thapa Kazi created: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Graphics_Lab/Photography_workshop&diff=prev&oldid=774270833
