Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan is an active Twitter user and has been maintaining a close rapport with his followers for quite a long time. The iconic actor was in for a shock early today morning when his social networking account was hacked by a group named "Ayyildiz Tim Turkish Cyber Armny". Soon after, an investigation was launched by the Mumbai Police into the hacking incident. The hacker group had posted messages from his account and the first post read: "This is an important call to the whole world! We do condemn the irrespective behaviours of Iceland republic towards Turkish footballers. We speak softly but carry a big stick and inform you about the big Cyber-attack here. As Ayyıldız Tim Turkish Cyber Armny +++". The next tweet read, "The Indian State, who mercilessly attacks the Muslims fasting in the month of Ramadan, is attacking the Ummah Muhammad in this age! Indian Muslims are entrusted to us by Abdulhamid."
