Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) MLA from Dabwali, Aditya Devilal Chautala, said his WhatsApp account was hacked after he unknowingly clicked on a malicious file.
In a Facebook Live session on Sunday, the MLA revealed he received a file named “RTO” on his phone. “Assuming it was related to a traffic challan, I clicked on the link. Soon after, my WhatsApp account was hacked,” Chautala explained.
Alerting the public, he appealed to exercise caution. “Please do not trust any WhatsApp messages or links sent from my number until the account is fully recovered. I urge everyone to remain alert and avoid responding to such messages,” he said.
