The police identified the the two main accused as Vijay Kumar Anadasu and Karun Kumar Anadasu, former directors of Hogar Controls, who after exiting the firm opened a new business and imitated the same line of home automation products and application.
They allegedly conspired with a foreign company and launched cyber-attacks on Hogar Controls server, application, and website between July and November 2021. They sought illegal support from hackers, and allegedly demanded a ransom from Hogar Controls management.
