NAVI MUMBAI: Two days after a watchman reportedly distributed 200 Aadhar cards to the residents of Sea Queen Plaza, sector 4(A), Koparkhairane, corporator Suresh Saldar asked him why he was distributing the cards. The watchman confessed that he had found a stack of cards lying near the gate of a campus close to a State Bank of India branch office.

On further investigation, Saldar found another 82 cards, having the official postal stamp, lying at the same location on Monday. "These are crucial documents and I was aghast to find them lying around. We are preparing a list of the names of people and their addresses," he said.

Saldar then confronted the local postman who confessed his lapse. "The postman said that he had kept the cards there to distribute later," said Saldar.

He said that when he informed the police, they said that a formal complaint must be made by the postal authorities. "They told us that it is not their case," he added.

Saldar added that they had questioned the postal authorities as to why they did not complain to the police, "but we are getting vague replies."
