DomainTools hosting history for www--search.com shows the presence in Madgen's IP range of 202.14.69.0/24.
You can see a spam report from 2005 also identifying Madgen Solutions as the culprit, and we know from Mr Bharti's own filings [pdf] that he was connected with Madgen Solutions.
There is no doubt that this is this is the same Somnath Bharti as this one. And here are some spam reports directly connecting Madgen Solutions to the TopSites spam [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] that were made at the time.
But it seems that Mr Bharti is still denying everything and claims that this is part of a conspiracy organised by the BJP. Presumably the BJP own a time machine and went back a decade to plant the evidence? Or is the truth rather more straightforward?
