Clive Lewis MP

Digital ID: Indian officials in charge of a controversial biometric identity scheme have filed a police complaint after a report that citizens' personal details were being sold for as little as 500 rupees ($7.8;£5.8) online (2018)

The Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) wants a probe into "unauthorised access" to its database.

But in the UK, sure you'll be fine lads ... Palantir has your backs 👍
