The account name was changed to "ICG OWNS INDIA". Certain tweets inviting crypto donations for Ukraine aid also appeared on the profile.

"Stand with the people of Ukraine now accepting cryptocurrency donations Bitcoin and Ethereum," a tweet on JP Nadda's Twitter account read. Another tweet written in Hindi claimed that the account was not hacked and all donations would go to the Ukrainian government.

Notably, in December last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Twitter account was also briefly compromised.
