Additional Superintendent of Police Guruprasad Parashar said that efforts were being made with the help of technical experts to restore the website to its original form.

“We are conducting an in-depth probe into the matter to get details about the hackers and will take appropriate steps accordingly,” PTI quoted Parashar as saying.
