&gt; In January 2018, a journalist working with The Tribune in India did an exposé about how anyone with WhatsApp and an online wallet could buy unlimited verifications for a paltry 500 Indian rupees ($8). Instead of launching an investigation inside its own ranks, the UIDAI filed a police report against the journalist and her editor.<p>Does this entity have any accountability at all?
