New Delhi: Amid its ongoing crackdown on age fraud, the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has urged the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to permanently preserve Aadhaar update histories relating to date-of-birth changes and restrict such modifications after a considerable passage of time except in exceptional and thoroughly verified cases.
In a letter addressed to UIDAI CEO Saurabh Garg on June 18, WFI president Sanjay Kumar Singh said the federation had noticed multiple instances of wrestlers allegedly reducing their age through changes in date of birth records, a practice that came under scrutiny during a recent age-verification exercise.
