The official website of Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha was hacked, purportedly by ‘Team Kerala Cyber Warriors’ on Friday, 24 August.
The website was allegedly hacked in response to to ABHM chief Swami Chakrapani’s remarks that only those Kerala flood victims who did not consume beef should be helped, reported The Indian Express.
The self-acclaimed godman had said that innocent people had died during the floods, because people in the state killed cows and “exhibited it in shops.”.
Kerala is slowly limping back to normalcy, after witnessing its worst floods in a century. Over 230 people lost their lives, and lakhs of people had to be moved to shelters across the state.
