Some persons misused demographic search facility: UIDAI

Stating that no biometric Aadhaar data has been breached, the UIDAI has admitted that some persons have misused a search facility which provides limited access to names and other details of Aadhaar holders. This comes after a report by The Tribune claimed that "unrestricted access to details" for any Aadhaar number could be purchased from anonymous sellers for ₹500.
