NEW DELHI, Sept 11: The Union Public Service Commission's (UPSC) website was reportedly hacked late on Monday with its homepage displaying the image of a popular cartoon character.
The homepage (http://www.upsc.gov.in/) of the website showed a photo of Doraemon along with the caption: “Doraemon!!!! Pick up the call”. The page also showed "I.M. STEWPEED" at the bottom, while the title track of the cartoon played in the background.

Several people took to Twitter to post screenshots of the website. The website was restored on Tuesday morning. So far, there has been no official word from the UPSC on the reported hacking.
We strongly condemn this derogatory act against the UPSC!

Kolkata (PTI): BJP’s Suvendu Adhikari defeated West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in the prestigious Bhabanipur seat by a margin of 15,105 votes on Monday, the EC said.
While Adhikari bagged 73,917 votes, Banerjee secured 58,812 votes.
The result marks a virtual “action replay” of the 2021 Nandigram battle, where Adhikari had unseated Banerjee in a fiercely fought contest that redefined Bengal’s political narrative.
