<p>Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi's Twitter account was allegedly hacked on Wednesday night and&nbsp;obscenities posted on the timeline.</p>
<p>According to one of the tweets, the account seems to have been hacked by a group called 'legion'.</p>
<p>The abusive tweets were personal in nature and insulted Rahul Gandhi and his family.</p>
<p><span>The tweets were deleted, but new ones came up immediately.</span></p>
<p><span><span>Confirming the development, his office said efforts were&nbsp;</span><span>being made to rectify the problem.</span><br /></span></p>
<p><span><span>Gandhi's account was hacked around 8.45 PM and some&nbsp;</span><span>messages with profanities were put out, but these were deleted&nbsp;</span><span>soon thereafter.</span></span></p>
<p><span><span>The name of the verified twitter handle "@OfficeOfRG" was&nbsp;</span><span>also changed.&nbsp;</span></span></p>

<p>Congress spokesperson Randeep Singh Surjewala reacted to the incident by tweeting, "@OfficeOfRG hacked. Such lowly tactics will never drown sane voice of reason nor deter Rahul Gandhi from raising people's issues."</p>
