Surat: Navsari Lok Sabha MP C R Patil today on micro blogging site Twitter said his Instagram account has been hacked and sought police action. Patil claimed an unknown person is chatting with others using his ‘@crpaatil’ handle on Instagram, a popular photo and video-sharing social networking service. Patil submitted an application to Surat Police Commissioner R B Brahmbhatt seeking action in the matter. Cyber crime team is probing the case

Patil can still access his account as he posted the same application on the site on Wednesday evening, warning people about the “illegal chatting” being done using his handle.

“Someone hacked into my account and started doing chatting with others. Except chatting, no other harmful activity has been done by the unknown person yet. It seems he has found my password. Thus, I have asked the police to take appropriate action,” said Patil.

મારું ઇન્સ્તાગ્રામ એકાઉન્ટ હેક થયું છે. અજાણી વ્યક્તિ મારા નામે ગેરકાયદેસર ચેટીંગ કરી રહી છે. આ અંગે આજે સુરત શહેર પોલિસ કમિશ્નરશ્રીને ફરિયાદ આપી. pic.twitter.com/j4oK53uiHB
