Delhi: At least 10 official websites including those of Delhi University, Aligarh Muslim University, IIT Delhi and IIT BHU, were hacked on Tuesday with 'Pakistan Zindabad' slogans displayed on them.

The hacker group, which identified itself as 'Pakistan Haxors Crew' (PHC), said, "nothing deleted or stolen. Just here to deliver my message to Indians."

"Greetings government of India, and the people of India. Do you know what your so-called heroes (soldiers) are doing in Kashmir? Do you know they are killing many innocent people in Kashmir?" one message read.

The other message read as - "How would you feel if your brother, sister, father and mother gets killed? Won't your life and your families be destroyed?"

Other websites which were hacked are University of Kota, Army Institute of Management and Technology, Greater Noida, Defence Institute of Advanced Technology, Army Institute of Management, Kolkata, National Aerospace Laboratories and Board of Research in Nuclear Sciences (BRNS).

Delhi University Registrar Tarun Das said, "The website was inaccessible from outside the campus for some time due to some problems in the domain name. Servers were pointing incorrectly to another site," as per PTI.

"The problem was detected and immediately rectified by contacting ERNET, which has provided the domain name for University of Delhi," he added.

National Informatics Centre runs websites of most central universities.
