The 48-year-old also attached a screenshot of an email from Twitter confirming they had received his request to change his email ID.
According to Kishore, his Twitter account was hacked on December 20, 2022.
"Just to avoid unnecessary misconceptions about the suspension of my Twitter account. My Twitter account was not suspended because of any of my posts.

In the mail, the microblogging site reiterated that it suspends accounts for "violations of the Twitter Rules or Terms of Service".
"Additionally, repeat violations may result in permanent account suspension," it added.
Kishore, whose credits include web series such as "She" and "The Family Man" season one, played the role of upright forest officer Muralidhar in last year's hit Kannada film "Kantara".
The actor, known for being outspoken and sharing his views on social media, is also active on Facebook where he has 66,000 followers. This account is unverified too.
