Investigations revealed that the Aadhaar card belonging to notorious criminal David Emon was a demo version, raising questions about identity verification processes. Authorities are reviewing the implications for security protocols.
During a routine audit of biometric data, officials discovered that the Aadhaar card issued to David Emon, a high‑profile criminal, was not a genuine identity document but a demo version.
The discovery came after a routine verification check flagged inconsistencies between the card’s data and the biometric records stored in the UIDAI database.
