'Kantara' actor Kishore Kumar G says Twitter suspended his account due to 'hacking'
Bengaluru (PTI): "Kantara" actor Kishore Kumar G has said Twitter suspended his account due to "hacking" and not because of his posts, and that the microblogging site has promised necessary action.
The actor took to his unverified Instagram handle to clear "misconceptions" over why his Twitter page was suspended. "Account suspended. Twitter suspends accounts that violate the Twitter Rules," is the message displayed if a user were to search for his handle '@actorkishore'.
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.
"I have come to know that it was because of hacking on December 20, 2022. Twitter has promised necessary action," he wrote on his Instagram page, which has almost 44,000 followers, on Wednesday evening.
Twitter said in an email, "Once we receive your confirmation, we'll review the information you provided and will respond as soon as possible." The platform eventually changed Kishore's email information, as per the screenshot.
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.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
