New Delhi: Unique Identification Authority of India has blacklisted for 10 years, the company which had publically shared cricketer M.S. Dhoni’s Aadhaar details.

The agency’s Common Services Centre (CSC) through its handle @CSCegov posted a tweet on Tuesday declaring that the former Team India skipper had updated his person information in the Aadhaar system.

“Ace cricketer Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his family get their Aadhaar updated at VLE Mariya Farooqui’s CSE at Ranchi, Jharkhand,” the tweet read. The tweet has since been deleted.

But the social media  message included a photograph of the cricketer with a CSC representative and another image revealing personal details on what appeared to be the Aadhaar website.

A furious Sakshi Dhoni later tweeted her protest at what she said was a serious breach of privacy. “Is there any privacy left? Information of Aadhaar card, including application, is made public property,” Mrs Dhoni tweeted. Mr Prasad replied that action will be taken on  the issue. “Serious action will be taken,” minister added.
