Actress Rozlyn Khan Becomes Latest Victim of Aadhaar Fraud

In a deeply distressing turn of events, actress and model Rozlyn Khan, also known as Rehana Khan, has become the latest victim of a growing menace in India: Aadhaar card fraud. This new ordeal comes just as she is trying to rebuild her life after a successful but taxing battle against stage four metastatic cancer.

Rozlyn is now facing relentless harassment from bank recovery agents over a fraudulent loan taken in her name. According to the actress, someone allegedly used her Aadhaar details to purchase a mobile phone on an EMI plan, and the debt has been assigned to her. The mental toll of the non-stop calls and demands for repayment has been significant. “Really shameful for a cancer survivor like me who has just recovered and is trying to start her life again,” she shared, highlighting the exhaustion and frustration of the situation.

Despite her repeated attempts to clarify the situation, the agents have insisted that the loan was taken using her Aadhaar and an OTP sent to her number. "I am living in Mumbai, then why would I come to a small village in Uttar Pradesh to buy a mobile phone?" she questioned, pointing out the glaring inconsistency in the bank's claim.

The situation escalated when recovery agents shockingly claimed that the mobile phone was purchased by her "husband." Rozlyn, who is unmarried, found this claim absurd and said, "I have been working in the industry for years, and everyone knows that I am not married." She has taken to social media to share screenshots of the conversations, exposing the absurdity of the claims with a mix of sarcasm and disbelief.

Joking about the bizarre claim, she quipped, “My so-called husband buys a phone in Moradabad, and the bank calls me… I’ve heard of love on EMI, but now even marriage runs on it!” Her posts have resonated with many who are concerned about the security of their personal data in an increasingly digital world.

This incident brings to light a critical issue with data security and the misuse of personal identification documents. While the Indian government's "Digital India" initiative aims to simplify processes, instances like these show a dark side where personal data can be exploited for fraudulent activities without the individual's knowledge or consent.

Seeking Answers and Justice
Rozlyn has announced that she will be filing a First Information Report (FIR) as soon as she returns to Mumbai. However, her main concern extends beyond this one fraudulent transaction. She is deeply worried about how her Aadhaar details were compromised and what other ways they may have been misused. "I don’t know how that person got my Aadhaar details, but I am more scared that I don’t know what else he must have used my details for and what all it will cost me?” she said, raising a serious question about the accountability of banks and the UIDAI in protecting citizens' data.
