Shaheen Dadha, the 21-year-old girl who was arrested for questioning the shutdown in the city after Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray's death, said on Tuesday that her Facebook account has been hacked and a fake account has been created on her name.

Thane rural police on Sunday arrested Dadha for questioning the shutdown in the city on her social networking site Facebook account after Thackeray's death on Saturday, and the subsequent shutdown on Sunday for his funeral and cremation.

She posted this message on Facebook, which was 'liked' and shared by her friend Renu, who was also arrested. Both girls were released on bail on Monday.

"After all that happened with me and my friend, I tried to deactivate my Facebook account on Monday night, but realised that it has already been hacked," Shaheen told IANS.

"Somebody from California, US, has hacked my account and a fake account has been created on my name. I have registered a police complaint in this regard, mentioning that I will not be responsible for whatsoever is posted through the fake account," added an over-cautious Shaheen.
