The Twitter handle of Afghanistan Embassy in India has been hacked, press secretary Abdulhaq Azad has said.

Press secretary for Afghanistan Embassy in India Abdulhaq Azad has said the Twitter handle of the embassy seems to have been hacked. He tweeted, "I have lost access to Twitter handle of @AfghanistanInIN, a friend sent screen shot of this tweet, (this tweet is hidden from me.) I have tried to log in but can’t access. Seems it is hacked." A tweet heavily criticising Ashraf Ghani - who stepped down from the post of the President and fled the country as the Taliban took control, was posted from the embassy handle.
