2. File a police complaint: Visit your nearest police station and file a complaint regarding the misuse of your Aadhaar card. Provide all relevant details and supporting documents to assist them in their investigation.

3. Monitor your financial accounts: Keep a close eye on your bank accounts, credit cards, and other financial accounts for any suspicious activity. If you notice any unauthorized transactions, report them to your bank or financial institution immediately.

4. Update your Aadhaar details: If you suspect that your Aadhaar details have been compromised, consider updating your personal information by following the process for updating Aadhaar details. This can help prevent further misuse.

5. Be cautious with sharing Aadhaar information: In the future, be cautious when sharing your Aadhaar information and only provide it to trusted entities. Avoid sharing sensitive Aadhaar details such as your Aadhaar number, biometrics, or OTP (OneTime Password) with anyone unless necessary.

Remember, it is crucial to take prompt action to protect your personal information and prevent any potential harm resulting from the misuse of your Aadhaar card.
