Mumbai: An unidentified person hacked email account of a student and sent abusive mails on the IDs of the Consulate General of Poland in Mumbai and officials of a medical science university in the European country, police said on Thursday.
Based on a complaint of the 18-year-old Mumbai student, Hiren Bhunje, a case was registered against the unidentified person. The incident came to light on Wednesday evening when Bhunje approached the Parksite Police Station with a complaint of email hacking, an official said.
The teenager, who resides in Ghatkopar (West), has passed Class 12 in science stream and wants to study MBBS in Poland.
