Greater Noida: Aadhaar agent in fake card racket
GREATER NOIDA: Seven men, including an authorised agent of Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) from Haryana were arrested for allegedly running an illegal centre for making Aadhaar cards in Surajpur’s Malakpur village on Saturday.
“The government has recently authorised only banks and government offices to have Aadhaar card centres where agents have been deployed for carrying out corrections and issuing new cards.
But this unauthorised centre was running after the office hours. We conducted a raid to find out who was behind it,” said Jeetendra Deekhit, SHO, Surajpur.
The raid was conducted on Friday and six men were detained. The accused have been identified as Brijesh Kumar, from Jewar, Kanchilal, from Aligarh, Sagar and Raees, both from west Delhi, Jabbar and Munendra, from Bulandshahr, and government agent Rahul, from Jhajjhar in Haryana.
While Rahul has confessed to earning Rs 7,000 a day for giving up his credentials, others said they were making Rs 80,000 per month each from the centre. Police said the accused also made fake PAN cards.
