Sule said that NCP General Secretary Aditi Nalawade's WhatsApp was also hacked along with her phone.
"The party general secretary Aditi Nalawade's WhatsApp was also hacked. Hackers demanded Rs 10,000 from her. We tried to keep them engaged by agreeing to pay. They had even shared account details of a bank for transferring money,” Sule said.
"I want to request to everyone that anyone's mobile can be hacked. My Mobile was off and then we came to know that someone else was accessing my WhatsApp. I got immediate help from Pune's SP office. The government should think seriously about this, it is a matter of privacy," the NCP leader said in a press conference on Monday.
Urgent: My phone and WhatsApp have been hacked. Please do not call or text me. I have reached out to the police for help.
