Police Taking Aadhar Card Photos


15-Oct-2023 (In Civil Law)
So I was with a female friend at a beach late evening police while patrolling asked us what we were doing and we said we are just here roaming around and we're about to leave. They asked for our IDs saying they document this for legal purpose if they find any crime near the location so we can be contacted. Now I'm okay with my aadhar picture being taken by them but they took aadhar photo of my female friend too. She's concerned about her data being shared in a group. What rights we have here?

well you should lodge a complaint about such police personnels who took pics of your aadhaar considering it seems fishy to me why they did so! I think, they can misuse your Aadhaar Credentials. You can lodge an Online as well as an Offline Complaint.
