Prasad was tagged in the tweet. It included a photograph of the cricketer with a CSC representative and another of his personal details on what appeared to be the Aadhaar website.

The tweet with the details was later deleted.

"Is there any privacy left? Information of Adhaar card, including application, is made public property," Sakshi tweeted. Prasad, while thanking Sakshi for brining up the issue to his notice, said, "sharing personal information is illegal. Serious action will be taken against this".

Meanwhile, UIDAI CEO said that they have blacklisted centre that leaked Aadhaar receipt of cricketer M S Dhoni for 10 years. The CEO said further inquiry is on.  —With Agencies
