Aadhaar card racket: Suresh Kumar seeks CBI or NIA probe

Describing the recent incident of fake Aadhaar cards being provided by an entrepreneur at R.T. Nagar here as a serious crime related to national security, former Law Minister and BJP leader S. Suresh Kumar has demanded a probe by a national agency such as the CBI or the NIA.

“It is not just a political issue, but a question of the the country’s security. The State government should take the issue seriously and subject Minister Bhyrathi Suresh, who is said to be having a close association with the accused, to an inquiry,” Mr. Suresh Kumar demanded, while addressing a press conference here on Wednesday.

He said the BJP would soon file a complaint in this regard before the Election Commission and seek a probe by a national agency.
