The hacker replaced the co-founder of the account with @BoredApeYC. As soon as the users became aware of the Twitter handle of UP CMO being hacked, people started complaining about this to CM Yogi Adityanath and UP Police with screenshots of the hacking.

A few hours later, the account was partially restored and the tweets posted by the handle when the account was hacked had been deleted.
