Qaiser Ali: Prime Minister of India for half an hour

New Delhi: Qaisar Ali was ecstatic when he found out that the twitter handle @PMOIndia was available for use. He saved it for himself immediately. Little did he realize that his act will land him




"I don't know how but it came into my mind to check PMO [Prime Minister's Office] of India, and when I realised it was available, I saved it for myself, Qaisar told BBC.

Qaiser "owned" @PMOIndia for about 30 minutes before it was taken back, following panic calls to Twitter India's Raheel Khurshid.

In his Twitter bio, Ali describes himself as a 19-year-old, creating a location-based mobile e-commerce service for multiplexes and malls, who founded a social network at 18.

After half an hour, Qaisar's twitter handle was reverted to its previous name and he did not get any explanation from Twitter for the same.
