Another fake Aadhaar card racket was busted as the Delhi Police arrested two men from Shastri Nagar area in the national capital last month.
The accused, Sushil and Vikas had opened an office in the area, from where they issued fake Aadhaar cards by charging Rs 400-Rs 500, GoNews reported. The police arrested them on June 30.
They have previously worked with Network for Information and Computer Technology (NICT), a government certified Aadhar enrolment agency, as Aadhaar operators for one day in January 2018.
After stealing machines used for making Aadhaar cards form the NICT office, the duo had escaped. However, their user IDs and passwords, which allowed them to access Aadhar data, were not blocked by the agency even then.
The police also recovered fake rubber stamp of an East Delhi district magistrate, fake affidavits, 52 fully prepared fake plastic Aadhaar cards and 400 incomplete Aadhaar cards from their possession.
In their office, the accused also had three fingerprint scanners, two eye scanners, three web cameras and a total of Rs 24,000.
Currently, the police are investigating if NICT is involved in running the fake racket.
