Dhoni's Aadhaar details leaked; wife slams Ravi Shankar Prasad, asks if there's any privacy left

New Delhi: An agency which helps Unique Identification Authority of India enroll citizens for Aadhar enthusiastically shared personal details of Mahendra Singh Dhoni on social media prompting the cricketer's wife to direct the Union Law and Information and Technology Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad's attention towards the same.The agency's Common Services Center had posted a tweet on Tueday through its handle @CSCegov saying "Ace cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his family get their Aadhaar updated at VLE Mariya Farooqui's CSE at Ranchi, Jharkhand".Prasad was tagged in the tweet which included a photograph of the cricketer with a CSC representative and another of his personal details on what appeared to be the Aadhaar website.The tweet with the details was later deleted."Is there any privacy left? Information of Adhaar card, including application, is made public property," Sakshi tweeted.Prasad, while thanking Sakshi for bringing up the issue to his notice, said, "sharing personal information is illegal. Serious action will be taken against this".Stating that "Aadhaar is fully secure", Prasad responded by saying that to his knowledge no personal information has been leaked.Sources said the minister has sent out orders banning field employees from acting in a way that can damage the government's attempts to promote Aadhaar in the face of questions raised by the opposition on the safety of personal data.IT ministry sources also clarified that the representative who helped with MS Dhoni's Aadhaar card is not a government employee but a "village level entrepreneur", part of a huge lattice of centres involved in updating information for a commission.Allegations of data security breach in Aadhaar have been in the headlines lately, with the Unique Identification Authority of India or UIDAI suspending the authentication services of Axis Bank over concerns about biometrics data being saved illegally. The rules do not allow anyone to store data taken for Aadhaar.The UIDAI, which has issued 112 crore Aadhaar numbers, insists that its database is safe.
