Aadhaar is new weak link in insurance

Mumbai: After manipulating PIN codes for over a decade, fraudsters have found a new way in the insurance system to exploit Aadhaar-linked processes for identity-based frauds. From motor insurance to health claims, criminals are now manipulating Aadhaar data through forged documents to file bogus claims.

UP Police have, as of late July, sent out notices to several insurance companies to share details of the claims teams and other executives involved. These cases involve fake documents and coordinated efforts across banks and insurers.
