SIT finds voter data from other states in IT Grids possession

The alleged data theft case by IT Grids India Pvt Ltd, the software company which created the Seva Mitra app for the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in AP, has got even murkier as the Telangana police now claims that the company’s data contained voter data from other states, apart from having Aadhar details of 7.8 crore citizens from AP and Telangana.

Officials from the special investigation team (SIT) from Telangana, who are currently investigating into the issue, said that they have managed to also retrieve data from Amazon Web Services, a cloud service onto which IT Grids had stored its data. Earlier, the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI) also filed a complaint with the Cyberabad police (under which Hyderabad’s IT corridor falls) against the software company, accusing it of stealing Aadhar details of people from AP and Telangana.
