Kota Shrinivas Poojari’s Twitter account hacked

Mangaluru: Social welfare and backward classes welfare minister Kota Shrinivas Poojari’s Twitter account @KotasBJP was allegedly hacked on Thursday.
“My official Twitter account has been hacked, and I have made a request for verification. Hence, I request you not to consider any tweets from my account until I confirm it officially,” the minister wrote on Facebook.
Sources close to the minister told TOI that an official request has been made with Twitter to verify the account. “Initially, we found the account disabled, and later the account holder name was also changed for some time. Now the minister’s name is being reflected properly, but he is not able to log in. If the problem continues, we will lodge a complaint with the cyber police on Friday. In fact, the Twitter account of the minister was verified by the microblogging social network on Wednesday,” sources said.
