Earlier, Masani had accused Rai of maligning his image on social media, to which the latter said he hadn’t abused anyone and speculated that his Twitter account may have been hacked.

Masani said he had filed the complaint with the cyber police to bring out the truth.

“Rai is trying to save himself by spreading these rumours of hacking. If someone has tried to hack his Twitter account, it is a crime. I am sure the cyber police will find out the truth behind his claim and will also answer who had hacked his account and when,” Masani said.

However, Rai seemed less than convinced. “I am a whistleblower in the Vyapam scam. This is the same police who were allegedly involved in tampering with the hard disk containing details about the Vyapam Scam. I can’t trust them,” he said.

Rai also claimed that he was yet to receive Masani’s notice against him that was purportedly sent on Saturday. “Some sources informed me that the notice has been sent to the wrong address,” he said.
