Actor-turned-politician Urmila Matondkar, who recently joined Shiv Sena, filed an FIR with the Maharashtra Cyber Cell on Wednesday after her Instagram account was hacked. The Sena leader posted on her Twitter account that her Instagram profile was hacked after she responded to a direct message on the photo-video sharing app.
In another tweet, she said that cybercrime is not something that women should take lightly. Furthermore, the 46-year-old said that she has filed an FIR with the state police's cyber wing and also shared a picture with Rashmi Karandikar, DCP, Cyber Cell.

All posts shared by the actress to date have been wiped out, with the display name being changed to 'Instagram Support'. "This is an automated message sent to you. If you have infringed copyright, you will receive an automated message," a message read on Matondkar's Instagram profile.
A few days ago, Urmila Matondkar officially joined the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena party.
In an interview with Mid-day, Urmila said that she was offered the MLC seat by the Congress as well, but she politely refused it. The actor-politician said she quit the Congress 14 months back because of the leaders who spoke against the party.
"I never said I quit because I was harassed or troubled. I'm not a woman who can be troubled by anyone. I quit the Congress, but I don't dislike it," she said. Matondkar, who had contested the 2019 Lok Sabha elections on a Congress ticket has been nominated to the Legislative Council from the Governor's quota by Shiv Sena.
