Bhubaneswar, Jan 20: Commisionerate Police on Tuesday said it will file a chargesheet against Tarini Prasad Roy, who hacked the OUAT website four days back.
Earlier, the city based engineering student Tarini Prasad had confessed to have breached the security of the website before a local police station in Odisha capital.
“After arrest, we have released him (Roy) on a personal recognizance (PR) bond. There was no need to forward him to the magistrate. In this case, bail can be granted to the culprit at the police station itself. But, we are planning to file a chargesheet against him,” said Police Commissioner RP Sharma said.
He said though the engineering student had no ill-intention in hacking the website, he has committed the act of hacking, which is a crime.
OUAT vice-chancellor Manoranjan Kar said, “We will take steps to improve cyber security of our website. Besides, we will ensure that no such thing happens in future.”
The OUAT authorities on Saturday lodged a complaint at the State Crime Branch and also at the Khandagiri police station seeking a probe into the hacking of its official website www.ouat.ac.in.
The website was hacked on Friday evening.
