Nitin Gadkari’s company Purti alleges attempts of computer hacking
Purti Group run by BJP leader Nitin Gadkari has approached Ganeshpeth police station earlier this week complaining of threat to their computer network from the hackers who are allegedly trying to sabotage the system for the last few months. The case will be referred to cyber crime cell of crime branch.
A press communication released by the Purti Power and Sugar Ltd stated that there had been repeated attempts to hack their computer system to show the management of the group in poor light. The management has also expressed its contention that the attempts could be to malign Gadkari.
Nitin Kulkarni, public relation officer of the group, stated that the audacious attempt of hackers seemed to have started from January onwards. "There had been as many as 3,000 attempts made to tamper with the group's computer network," he said. Kulkarni told some news source that the attempts were detected by the group's IT experts while trying to fix the complaints of slow operation and other technical issues. "Most attempts have been made from two IP addresses that we have already furnished to police department," he said.
The press release stated there were now potential threats of pilferage of confidential and other data. Subodh Zare, general manager (legal) and company secretary of the group, has appealed to the cops for prompt identification of the culprits. Sources from Ganeshpeth police stated a sub-inspector had been assigned the matter.
