New Delhi:
Actor Govinda appears to have deactivated his Twitter account after being attacked for a post on Haryana violence. On Thursday, he shared an update on Instagram claiming his Twitter had been hacked. He hadn’t tweeted and nor had his team, Govinda said in a video posted on Instagram. He added that he would be filing a complaint with the cyber-crime cell. Yesterday, a tweet posted from @govindaahuja21 commented on mob violence in Gurugram. The handle is unverified and Govinda said in his Instagram post that he had not used it in a long time.
In his Instagram video, Govinda said: “Please do not attribute this Haryana tweet to me. I haven’t done this. Somebody has hacked my account. I am just doing a complaint to cyber-crime now. I’ll look into the matter.” He continued in Hindi (translated): “To my all well-wishers, fans in Haryana, I want to tell you that I haven’t used this Twitter account for years. My team has also denied any responsibility for this tweet. They won’t tweet anything without asking me. I’ll give this matter to cyber-crime. They’ll look into the matter.”
Govinda signed off the video with these words, “As election season is approaching, some people have thought I might stand for a party. So, they might have tweeted this but I’ve never done such things. I never express my views on such matters.”

Yesterday, Govinda’s Twitter account appeared to reply to a tweet of a video claiming to show Muslims shops being attacked in Gurugram. While the tweet allegedly from Govinda no longer exists, it has been screenshotted by the Internet:
