Twitter handles of Kher, Bedi & BJP’s Ram Madhav hacked, ‘ I love Pakistan’ posted
New Delhi, Feb. 6: The Twitter handles of veteran actor Anupam Kher, BJP national general secretary Ram Madhav and lieutenantgovernor of Puducherry Kiran Bedi were hacked on Tuesday.
Ms Bedi’s account was showing the same Turkish post that was visible on Mr Kher and Mr Madhav’s handles.
The Twitter handle of the actor was allegedly hacked by “proPakistan” Turkish cyber army ayyildiz tim. The 62- year- old actor, who is currently in Los Angeles, said he got to know about the breach from his friends in India and had alerted the micro- blogging site about the incident.
“My Twitter account has been hacked. Just got a few calls from friends in India about it. I am in LA and it is 1 am,” Kher told PTI over a text message.
The actor said he received a link from Rajya Sabha MP Swapan Dasgupta in a direct message, a first ever from him on Monday, which he clicked upon.
Mr Dasgupta’s Twitter account is said to have been compromised by Turkish proPak hackers.
“Got a DM yesterday from Mr Swapan Dasgupta’s account about a link. A first from him. So opened it. Have spoken to Twitter already,” Mr Kher added.
A message reading “Caution: This account is temporarily restricted” is currently being displayed when one visits the actor’s account.
