A Gujarat police team on Wednesday arrested a person from Bihar’s Muzaffarpur district for allegedly tampering with the Aadhaar cards of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath.

Muzaffarpur’s senior superintendent of police Rakesh Kumar said Arpana Dubey alias Madan Kumar was arrested from the Sadatpur area of the district.

“The accused hails from Gariba Gaon village. He was pursuing his graduation from a college in Sadatpur under Kanti police station,” said the SSP.

The visiting police team was assisted by the local police, following “information that there were attempts to tamper with the Aadhaar cards on the website and the IP address was traced to the accused”, he said.

The accused is understood to have changed the dates of birth of the two leaders, among other things, and misused the tampered Aadhaar cards, he added.

The police team from Gujarat has taken Dubey along for further investigation and action, the officer said.
