A Bhaskar investigation has uncovered that a mafia ring is selling personal data of industrialists for ₹5,000 and doctors for ₹3,600. The operation allegedly targets sensitive information for commercial gain.
The investigation, reported by Bhaskar English, reveals that a criminal syndicate is monetizing personal data of prominent industrialists and medical professionals. According to the findings, the data of industrialists is being sold at a price of ₹5,000, while doctors’ data fetches ₹3,600.
The sale of such sensitive information raises significant concerns about privacy breaches and the exploitation of personal data for illicit profit. Law enforcement agencies have been notified and are reportedly reviewing the case.
While the investigation is still ongoing, the report highlights the growing trend of data black markets in India, where personal details are traded for relatively low sums. The authorities are urged to strengthen data protection measures and increase public awareness about the risks of data misuse.
