Indore (MP): Indore Police have traced Pakistan links to the recent hacking of a website of Indore Police. The name of the hacker has been identified as Mohammad Bilal, whose name has also been linked to the case of two sisters who were held for espionage and alleged Pakistan links. Following this, police suspect that both the cases may be related to each other, although no official confirmation has been given in this regard. Indore Police say that the name of Mohammad Bilal Khan had surfaced earlier too during an investigation of two sisters, who were held from Mhow district, for allegedly having been in contact with Pakistani persons.
The hackers who took control of the Indore Police website had written "Pakistan Zindabad" and "Free Kashmir", which also included the name of the hackers' organisation. The police recovered the website after a lot of efforts, and the cyber expert team is currently engaged in the investigation of the case, according to the Indore IG.
