THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Opposition leader V S Achuthanandan has demanded a detailed probe into all aspects of transfer of Aadhar data to private agencies.

In a statement here on Monday, VS said that there were major mysteries and allegations regarding transferring of Aadhar-related information to an agency.“The Aadhar data is first stored in the state data centre and from there transferred to the Central server.


The Keltron was entrusted with the task of preparing software for storing data in the state servers. There was an agreement between the Keltron and the IT Mission on the same. Also, there were strict regulations over sharing the data with anyone else. 

However, contrary to the agreement, Keltron made an agreement with a private agency, thereby handing over the control of the database to them,” VS alleged.“The govt claims that the data, being encrypted, can’t be shared. However, since the software for encryption was made by the company, they can decode the same, VS said.
