A hacker of the Pakistan Haxors Crew has breached and defaced the official website of Puthiya Thalaimurai TV (puthiyathalaimurai.tv), an Indian Tamil news channel based in Chennai. 

According to E Hacking News, the hacker defaced the website with the following message: “I hack AIADMK website & Jaya TV so kick out that innocent kid from the jail.”

Indian authorities have recently arrested 23-year-old P. Eswaran for allegedly hacking into the systems of the All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK) political party.

Police said they had uncovered evidence that Eswaran had hacked the organization. However, they were unsure if he was the one who defaced the website. Now, the Pakistani hacktivists have come forward to clarify that the computer science graduate didn't have anything to do with it.

At the time of writing, the website of Puthiya Thalaimurai TV has been restored.
