Within two days her tweet went viral. People from UIDAI and Airtel contacted her on Twitter and assured her that they will solve the problem. Later, Priya claimed Airtel told her that it was a software glitch.

However, when contacted, in an email reply to The Quint, Airtel said “there is no case of nine mobile numbers being linked” to Priya’s Aadhaar. The company also claimed that the “matter has been twisted into a conspiracy theory and unnecessary confusion has been created on the basis of half-baked information.”

After waiting for eight days (23 January), Priya once again went to the Airtel outlet to link her mobile number with aadhar. And this time she was successful.

In an interview to The Quint, Priya narrated her worries.
