New Delhi: Different answers by two Union ministers to the same question have left the "victim" bewildered.

The conflicting answers have both been given in Parliament, making a mockery of the principle of "collective responsibility" of the government.

While information technology and law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had on February 2 stated that an FIR had been registered against unknown persons over a newspaper report on Aadhaar data breach, junior home minister Hansraj Ahir said on Wednesday that Delhi police's FIR named a reporter of The Tribune.

Both questions were asked by Samajwadi Party MP Neeraj Shekhar in the Rajya Sabha.

Question No. 3,763 on Wednesday stated: "Whether the crime branch of Delhi police cyber cell has registered an FIR for reports on leakage of millions of Aadhaar details on WhatsApp for Rs 500 on January 5, 2018? If so, the details thereof, details of persons and newspaper against whom the FIR has been filed."

Ahir's written reply stated: "Delhi police has reported that on complaint of deputy director (logistics & grievance redressal) UIDAI, a case vide FIR no 09/2018 dated 05-01-2018 under Section 36/37 (of the) Aadhaar Act 2016, under Section 419, 420, 468, 471 IPC and under Section IT Act has been registered wherein the name of journalist of Tribune newspaper finds a mention."

Shekhar had asked the same question earlier: "Whether the government is aware that more than one billion unrestricted Aadhaar details were available on WhatsApp for Rs 500 as per a report. Whether the UIDAI has filed an FIR against the whistleblower?"

IT minister Prasad had replied on February 2: "Aadhaar data is fully safe and secure and there has not been a single case of data breach from the UIDAI's data base. The report in media about Rs 500, 10 minutes and you have access to billion Aadhaar details was a case of misreporting and is completely false.

"The UIDAI has filed a complaint on 4th Jan 2018 with full details of the incident, on which an FIR no. 9/18 dated January 5, 2018, has been registered in cyber cell of Delhi police against unknown persons."
