The Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of Delhi Police has busted a racket in the national capital which was involved in making fake Aadhaar cards using the fingerprints/iris of minors and vagabonds without their biometric data available with the Aadhaar authorities. Earlier, eight members of the gang were arrested while two others have now been arrested by the EOW.

These Aadhaar cards were used for making PAN and voter ID cards presuming them as genuine. The accused persons also used photoshop to create fake PAN and Voter ID cards charging Rs 5000-10,000 for each of these cards and Rs 25,000 for each Aadhaar card.
