After late-night controversial tweet, Kirti Azad says his account hacked

It was a virtual dare to his party to act against him after he went public with allegations of corruption on Jaitley's watch as chief of the DDCA or Delhi and District Cricket Association.

But just after midnight, his twitter account pinged again. This time Azad had tweeted that his account had been hacked.
