UIDAI rejects Aadhaar card for ‘Raavan’

In a sarcastic reply, a Twitter user who goes by the handle name #DestroytheAadhaar asked:  “Sir how many Aadhaar can Ravan get? 10 faces * 10 iris pairs = 100 at least?”.

The @UIDAI, keeping a straight face, said Raavan is not eligible as he is not an Indian resident.
