Atlanta / San Francisco (CNN Business) A Twitter (TWTR) account connected to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi appeared to have been hacked Thursday, prompting an investigation by the social media company. For nearly an hour, the verified account — @ narendramodi_in — posted several tweets asking people to donate Bitcoin to another account. "Yes this account is hacked by John Wick," one tweet read in part, seemingly a reference to the action movie character played by Keanu Reeves. "I appeal to you all to donate generously to PM National Relief Fund for Covid-19, Now India begin with crypto currency," another tweet read. All the tweets have since been deleted.
