The CBI has registered an FIR against a gang in Rajasthan for allegedly making fake Aadhaar cards using forged documents and fingerprints for Rs 25,000. Three people have been booked, officials said. Initial investigation into the large-scale racket has revealed that fingerprints and retina scans of school children as well as toe prints have been used to make fake Aadhaar cards, officials said.
Fraud is going on in many districts
Officials said the matter came to light after a news report was filed by Manohar Lal, a programmer in the Information Technology and Communication Department in Sanchore. They said cases of fake Aadhaar cards have been reported in various districts of Rajasthan. Officials said Sanchore is 150 km from the India-Pakistan border. Within three days of the complaint, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology sought a CBI probe into the matter.
The state government recommended a CBI inquiry
He said the Rajasthan government had transferred the case to the central investigating agency on July 9, which was forwarded to the CBI by the Department of Personnel and Training on July 30. Later, the CBI filed an FIR against three people – Ganpat Singh, Togaram and Kanhaiya Lal. He said that according to the complainant, these three people were allegedly making Aadhaar cards using his e-mitra ID and Aadhaar ID.

Let us tell you that the state government has decided to investigate all the e-mitras and Aadhaar centres in the state. Under this, the annual report of Aadhaar machines will also be tested. It has been made mandatory for the e-mitra operators to write the information about the amount of free and paid services outside the centre. The matter of fake Aadhaar cards is also a matter of concern because incidents of infiltration from the border areas have been coming to the fore. There is a doubt that the roots of this fraud may have spread to the enemies of the country. Earlier, in Aaj Tak’s sting, a racket of fake Aadhaar cards was busted in Jaipur.
