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.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
