The Delhi Police Crime Branch has registered an FIR against Skoch group chairman Sameer Kochhar, allegedly for spreading rumours on the internet about the vulnerability of the Aadhaar system. Police said a case has been registered at the Cyber Cell of the Crime Branch against Kochhar for allegedly writing a “misleading” article targeting Aadhaar. His actions, the complaint states, violate the Aadhaar Act. A police source said the FIR has been registered manually as the term ‘Aadhaar Act’ is not updated in their system yet. Police said they received a complaint from an official of the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI).
