WFI Urges UIDAI to Preserve Aadhaar Birth-Date Change Records to Address Age Fraud
The Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) has urged the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) to permanently preserve Aadhaar update histories related to date-of-birth changes and limit such modifications except in thoroughly verified cases. This request follows a crackdown on age fraud during the U-17 National Open Ranking Wrestling Tournament in Gonda, where around 500 wrestlers were disqualified for being overage. The WFI highlighted instances of wrestlers allegedly reducing their age by altering Aadhaar records and called for stricter verification to ensure eligibility in age-group competitions.
