Aadhaar Loopholes Used in Madhya Pradesh Cop Exam Scam
A group of people from Bihar cheated on a police exam in Madhya Pradesh.
They paid others to take the test for them.
They used a trick with the Aadhaar system, which is like an ID card, to change fingerprints and photos so they could get away with it.
They would pay the people who took the test for them Rs 3 lakh each and charged even more for the tricky Aadhaar work.
The police caught some of them, and are now trying to find the people who organized the cheating.
The government is changing how Aadhaar works to prevent this from happening again.
A Bihar-based gang exploited Aadhaar loopholes to deploy proxy candidates in a constable recruitment exam in Madhya Pradesh.
The gang manipulated biometric data to bypass verification protocols.
Three key agents facilitated the operation, reportedly charging Rs 8–10 lakh per candidate.
Investigations revealed the gang used an ID of an Aadhaar updater and a modified APK file to alter fingerprints and photos remotely.
The UIDAI has been notified, and officials are revising the Aadhaar update process.
