Email address of Maharashtra Assembly speaker hacked

Maharashtra Assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar's email address was compromised and an email regarding the same was sent from the speaker's email to the office of the state's governor. The information was shared by the police on Tuesday. 

 

Earlier in the day, authorities registered a case at the Marine Drive police station against an unknown individual following the discovery of the hacking incident.
