MUMBAI: Model Poonam Pandey has approached the cyber police, claiming an unidentified person has hacked her website and defaced the homepage where he posted “Pakistan Zindabad” and raised the Kashmir issue. The police are yet to establish the identity of the hacker, who used the handle ‘Haxor 99’, but the internet protocol (IP) address has reportedly been traced to Pakistan .

Additional commissioner of police Niket Kaushik said they had not registered an FIR yet. “The hacker posed as a Pakistani national,” said Kaushik, adding that the IP address is in Pakistan.

Pandey’s lawyer Prashant Mali said, “A case under section 66 of IT Act 200 can be filed. Action should be taken if the IP address is traced to a foreign country.”
