The message asked, “Do you know why got hacked?” and stated, “Free Kashmir, freedom is our goal.”
It added, “Indian Penal Code Act no. 45 of 1860) chapter -II sec 8: India means the territory of India excluding the state of Jammu and Kashmir. This institutionalised impunity with which the killings of civilians by military and police forces in Jammu & Kashmir continues should be a source of shame for India which propagates to be a democracy!”

He added that the college authorities have registered a case with the Cyber Crime police. The website was restored by Thursday afternoon, he said.
Principal H Shaik Ahmed said, “We have requested the police to investigate the matter in depth.” Old Hubballi police visited the college and took a first-hand information from the college staff. They asked the authority to register case with Cyber Crime Police in Dharwad.
