Aadhaar was grossly misused, said ex-home minister who passed away in Dilli.
22nd June, 2041 – Mumbai
In December 2026, a research scholar from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mumbai, hacked into the Aadhaar biometric ID system. He said he did it because he wanted to show existing flaws. He sent the Prime Minister’s Office an email – he also sent copies of the same to leading media houses – highlighting how he had unlimited access to biometric information of just about every Indian citizen. He received praise for his honesty and died mysteriously around three years later.
From 2028 to 2036, there were of slew of imprisonments and deaths, comprising important people who had anything remotely unfriendly to say about the then regime. There were murmurs that the Aadhaar system was compromised – they turned to whispers that soon died down.
Yesterday, 82-year Amir Patil, home minster of India from 2024 to 2036, breathed his last at the India First hospital in Dilli. Shortly before he passed away, he made a startling disclosure. The party he belonged to, which was overthrown by the coup of 2036, had misused the Aadhaar system to target political and ideological rivals. These included academicians, economists, social workers, businessmen, artists, and politicians. The IITian who’d helped them achieve their goals was done away with as well.
Going by what he had to say on his deathbed, the government he worked with was responsible for over a million false incriminations. In the know how was a core team of only 30 members. Cases of murder, rape, and theft were filed. Then, fingerprints retrieved from the Aadhaar system conveniently made their way to scenes of crimes. In all the cases tried, there was not a single acquittal. Penalties ranged from five years in prison to death.
Amir Patil made another astounding revelation – he lost his own outspoken brother, Naseer, to the workings of the crooked wheel in 2029. He said he remained mum at the time because he feared for his own safety, and for the safety of his loved ones who were still free.
He is survived by his wife of 35 years, Alicia Patil, and their three children, Ashfaq, Peter, and Radha.
