Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) working president Supriya Sule, on Sunday, claimed her phone and WhatsApp had been hacked.
The NCP (SP) leader termed it “very serious” adding, that she has nothing to hide in her phone.
Sule later filed a complaint at Yavat police station and spoke to the superintendent of police Pankaj Deshmukh who in turn assured her of a probe.
“Within hours, my phone and messaging service were restored,” said Sule.
“My phone and WhatsApp have started. The WhatsApp team provided valuable support. A big thank you to Team WhatsApp and Pune rural police for this. If anyone has messaged me in the meantime, I apologise for not being able to reply due to this technical glitch,” said Sule in a post on X.
Earlier in the day, Baramati MP had requested that people refrain from calling or texting her.

“Urgent: My phone and WhatsApp have been hacked. Please do not call or text me. I have reached out to the police for help,” the Lok Sabha MP said in an X post.
“I got to know this when I reached here (in Pune) as WhatsApp also couldn’t open. So, I asked Jayant Patil (NCP state unit chief) to check the phone and he in turn sent a test message. While my phone was switched off, he received a reply from my number,” said Sule while addressing party workers at Patas in Pune district as a part of NCP’s (SP) Shiv-Swarajya Yatra.
A senior official from Pune rural police requesting anonymity said, “A probe is underway and technical details are being scrutinised.”
