SURAT (Gujarat): Even as police are trying to reach the root of biometric data theft racket done to pilfer food grains issued to poor people, another scam of tampering with Aadhar data has been exposed in the city.

The accused Hiren Prajapati, 26 and Prashant Pradhan, 20, both residents of Pandesara, were modifying the Aadhar Card data of individuals using a rubber thumb. They were arrested on Saturday and remanded to police custody for three days by a court on Sunday.

They were nabbed on Saturday from Prajapati's office located in Shivam Complex in Kailash Nagar Chowkdi of Pandesara. Police raided their office following a complaint lodged by youth Congress leader Anup Rajput who was informed by some local residents.

Pandesara police booked them under various Indian Penal Code sections including 406 (criminal breach of trust), 420 (cheating), 465, 467, 468, 471 (forgery) as well as sections of the IT Act. Police are yet to arrest the third accused Hitesh, whose exact details still not known

Prajapati works as agent to get applicants various types of cars like PAN card, driving license card and other government cards. He had discussed with Pradhan in past that he is in search of work related to Aadhar card. Meanwhile Pradhan came in touch with Ahmedabad resident Hitesh, who offered to provide data of a person who is authorized for updating Aadhar cards.

Later, Hitesh sold them a pen drive for Rs 6,000.
