    One of the illegal posts had abusive language like "my family is a bunch of corrupt....(expletives) retarded... (expletives)".
     
    The hackers also removed Rahul's profile picture and changed the account title from @OfficeOfRG to Retarded gandhi.
     
    "Rahul Gandhi's Twitter handle has been hacked. We will file a complaint with the Cyber Cell of Delhi Police," Congress Media Coordinator Pranav Jha told IANS. 
     
     
    Congress Communication Department incharge Randeep Singh Surjewla tweeted: "Such unscrupulous, unethical and roguish conduct of venal trolls to hack @OfficeOfRG reflects disturbing insecurities of prevalent fascist culture."
     
    "Pre-meditated hacking of @OfficeOfRG smacks of a sinister conspiracy to abuse and intimidate. It stregthens our resolve to fight for the nation," he tweeted.
     
    Surjewala tweeted: "Hacking of@OfficeofRG proves lack of digital safety around each one of us. Every digital info can be accessed, altered, morphed and modified."
