MORE THAN 300 Aadhaar cards were found in the dumping ground at the Ajay Nagar area of Nizampura on Saturday morning. Nizampura police seized the Aadhaar cards, bearing addresses of nearby areas in Nizampura and Bhiwandi, and were investigating if those were fake, made in the background of the upcoming elections.
According to a senior officer in Nizampura police station, the Aadhaar cards were found by some ragpickers. There were close to 320 Aadhaar cards, all of them had addresses of Ajay Nagar, Khadak Road, Kombadpada and other nearby areas.
All the cards bore stamps of the local post office. The fact that these cards were made before 2015, and had stamps bearing dates from 2013 to 2015, and were found recently is questionable. The dumping area is cleared regularly, and the cards were found today, means that the cards were dumped recently, an officer from Thane police commissionerate said.
