Indian grocery delivery startup KiranaPro 's data loss story has more holes than Swiss cheese, as the startup remains unclear whether the incident was an internal breach or an external hack.

The Bengaluru -based startup discovered that it could not access its back-end servers and that all its data, including its app code, had been deleted from GitHub .

The startup on Friday blamed a former employee for the breach.

The company confirmed it did not remove the employee’s account after they departed the company.

Co-founder Ravindran said the customer data stored in the AWS cloud remained intact and was not accessed by any third parties.

The startup has also not fully paid its current employees, the co-founder confirmed, soon after the company raised a seed round of 100 million Indian rupees ( about $1.2 million ), which he said has yet to be fully wired.
