Days after a vendor in Hyderabad was arrested for allegedly activating SIM cards fraudulently through the eKYC system, UIDAI said that Aadhaar’s in-built security mechanism had, in fact, detected the incident and its system is robust enough to trace such frauds. “Aadhaar not only prevents frauds but in case where frauds are attempted, it is able to trace such activities quickly and bring the culprits to the book,” the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) said in a statement.
