In a series of tweets, Bedi said she had filed a complaint with Goa police’s Cyber Crime Cell last week after an earlier hacking incident but the modus operandi was repeated late Sunday night.

‘Dear @DGP_Goa my e-commerce website happysoul.in HACKED AGAIN last night and this time they state if I don’t pay ransom they will sell DRUGS on my website. I have registered FIR in old goa police cyber cell last week but no action from cops. My company regd in Goa @goacm.’
