Thiruvananthapuram, Jul 9 (PTI) A probe has been launched after an application linked to the Kerala Police website that handles internal files became dysfunctional, with officials suspecting a cyber attack, police sources said on Thursday.

According to the sources, the application, which is used for handling internal files and data, has remained non-functional for the past four days and is suspected to have been hacked.

They said the system is maintained by Keltron through a private firm to which the state government-owned company had outsourced the contract.

The disruption has affected the movement of internal files within the police department for the past several days.

However, police maintained that there has been no data breach.

Officials said efforts are underway to restore the application and resume normal operations.

The application and website used by the public to access Kerala Police services remains unaffected and is functioning normally. PTI TBA TBA ROH
