![]() In both the situations, experts point out that it is possible that those providing driving licences are not complying with the standard operating procedures to issue the identity paper and what should be investigated is whose driving licence is being issued and whether their documents are with the concerned authorities. It needs to be seen whether the 'premium vendor' issuing driving licence has the biometric details too," Karnika told Mail Today. At present, the process of getting a license made involves providing biometric details, including fingerprints and retina scan. "An investigation needs to be pursued to find out if a criminal is using morphing techniques to create fresh licences. It could also be possible, Karnika said, that it is being done through an "agent" who is not an employee of the transport authority that issues driving licence. "One possibility is that there is a racket or an organised nexus with the concerned office in India and some employee is trying to get the work done on a commission," she said. ![]() Karnika Seth, a cyber lawyer and cyber security expert, pointed out that getting a real or fake driver's licence could be possible through organised rackets. He refused to comment on the measures present to prevent the procurement of licences from places other than registered transport offices. "The applicant's photo and biometrics are taken in the process of getting the licence made," Dahiya said. He added that this seems impossible as one has to make a personal appearance for getting a learner's and regular driving licence. "Anybody can place any advertisements and it is beyond our control," said KK Dahiya, special commissioner of Delhi's transport department. Emphasising a lack of influence over the matter, transport department officials maintain that this modus operandi is out of their hands. However, Kislay explained that in case of custom orders, the details can be given to the premium vendor who will provide customised identity papers. "It is possible that the vendor purchased the data and can now easily create the driving licence with the help of name of the person and without asking for more details from the client who places the order." In such a situation, they can make the driving licence without any hassle," said Kislay Chaudhary, founder and chairman of the Indian Cyber Army. "One of the possibilities is that these vendors either have the data of citizens as, barring biometrics, details of Indian citizens are easily available through a data breach.
