New Delhi: Union power minister RK Singh on Tuesday said that there is no evidence to prove that the Mumbai blackout was caused by a cyberattack. While a cyberattack was attempted but it had nothing to do with the October 2020 electricity blackout in Mumbai, said the minister.
The minister attributed the Mumbai blackout to a case of human error. We don t have evidence to say that the cyberattacks were carried out by China or Pakistan. Some people say that the group behind the attacks is Chinese but we don t have evidence. China will definitely deny it, said Singh.

Singh said that two teams had investigated the Mumbai power outage and submitted a report. The outage was caused by human error and not due to the cyberattack. One of the teams submitted that cyberattack did happen but they were not linked to the Mumbai grid failure, Singh said, citing the investigation report.
