Afghan Embassy in India claims 'lost access' to Twitter account

NEW DELHI: Press Secretary to

Afghan Embassy

in India

Abdulhaq Azad

on Monday claimed that the official Twitter handle of the

embassy

"seems to be

hacked

" and he has "lost access".

Azad's remarks came just after the Tweet, which has now been taken down, expressing "strongly" displeasure over the "fleeing" of the country's President

Ashraf Ghani

from the war-torn country in order to avoid "bloodshed".


"I have lost access to Twitter handle of @AfghanistanInIN, a friend sent screen shot of this tweet, (this tweet is hidden from me.) I have tried to log in but can't access. Seems it is hacked," Abdulhaq Azad tweeted.

Embassy sources said that unusual activity was detected on the Twitter account of the Afghan Embassy in India.
