The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) has refuted reports about a fresh data leak of Aadhaar holders.

A technology news portal recently cited a security researcher’s claim to state that a system of state-owned utility firm was allegedly leaking information on Aadhaar holders.

In a statement, UIDAI termed the claims as totally baseless and false, saying there has been absolutely no breach of its database. The statement said, Aadhaar remains safe and secure.

It said, people should not get misled by such irresponsible stories being circulated in social and other media by some vested interests.
