Earlier on Sunday, Dutt tweeted that the mojostory email and YouTube Channel were hacked.

“We are currently without access to our own platform. If you see anything strange on our platforms or from us, please ignore it for the time being. Hoping to resolve this soon,” she said.

She urged YouTube to protect and restore our channel to its rightful founders/owners/reporters.
