But when they needed to update their Aadhaar details for Class 10 registration, the process did not go as expected. The first sister\u2019s fingerprints and retina were scanned and recorded. When the second sister\u2019s biometric details were entered, the system reportedly matched them with the first sister\u2019s data and treated the second application as a duplicate. <!-- -->For the family, what should have been a routine Aadhaar update turned into a problem that lasted for months.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>What happened when the twins updated Aadhaar?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>In a conversation with ANI, their uncle said that one sister\u2019s Aadhaar would be updated while the other sister\u2019s application would be rejected. \u201cThese are my two nieces,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen we updated their Aadhaar cards for the registration of the 10th grade, their Aadhaar cards were rejected.\u201d He explained that the family initially could not understand why the two applications were being treated differently. \u201cOne Aadhaar card was being updated and the other was being rejected.<!-- --> We were worried for a long time.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>The family tried to find a solution through the Aadhaar process but could not resolve the issue. \u201cEven with the Aadhaar cards, we were not able to find a solution.

Their uncle told ANI that they tested the twins using a phone&#8217;s face-lock feature. <!-- -->According to him, when the phone was locked using Khijra\u2019s face, Tuba\u2019s face could also open it. \u201cThen one day, we put a face lock on Khijra\u2019s face. The face lock and the retina were opened.\u201d He said the family then tried changing the face used for the lock.<!-- --> \u201cWhen we changed both of them, the locks were opening from each other.\u201d \u201cThis is a rare case,\u201d the uncle said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"22\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Family approached the district magistrate<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component iIpbx undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"DM of Rampur with the twins and thier newly issued Aadhaar cards.\" msid=\"134482230\" imgsize=\"1159289\" resizemode=\"4\" width=\"\" title=\"DM of Rampur with the twins and thier newly issued Aadhaar cards.\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/83033472.cms\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"47529300\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/imgsize-1159289,msid-134482230\/dm-of-rampur-with-the-twins-and-thier-newly-issued-aadhaar-cards.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<p>DM of Rampur with the twins and thier newly issued Aadhaar cards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>After repeated attempts to solve the Aadhaar problem, the family contacted Rampur District Magistrate. <!-- -->\u201cWe contacted the DM sir,\u201d the uncle told ANI.

We were worried for a year and a half. We were not able to find a solution.\u201d According to him, the district magistrate assured the family that they did not need to travel elsewhere to resolve the issue.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Aadhaar officials were contacted<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>The district administration then began working with the relevant authorities to resolve the problem. \u201cWe started the investigation,\u201d the uncle said. \u201cWe called the DM on a daily basis.\u201d He said the administration also contacted Aadhaar officials in Lucknow. \u201cWe called the Aadhaar card in Lucknow. We talked to everyone in Aadhaar. They assured us that we don&#8217;t have to go anywhere.\u201d Once the necessary instructions were received, the family followed the process to update the girls\u2019 Aadhaar records.<!-- --> This process took 3-4 months.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>Class 10 board registration was a major concern<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"39\"\/>The delay was particularly worrying because the girls needed their Aadhaar details for their Class 10 board examination registration. The uncle said the family feared that the unresolved Aadhaar problem could affect the students\u2019 academic year. \u201cDue to this, they were not able to open their accounts,\u201d he said. \u201cThe most important thing was the registration for the board exam. We were worried that the children&#8217;s Aadhaar card would be wasted for a year,\u201d he told ANI.<!-- --> The family eventually received help from the district administration. The uncle said the district magistrate also ensured that the updated Aadhaar information reached the girls\u2019 school. \u201cHe immediately sent the Aadhaar card to their school. He asked them to change the Aadhaar card number in their Aadhaar ID.\u201d<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"43\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>What was the main biometric problem?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"45\"\/>When asked what exactly had caused the Aadhaar applications to be rejected, the uncle pointed to the similarity in the twins\u2019 biometric details. <!-- -->\u201cThe main problem was that the children&#8217;s Aadhaar cards have twins,\u201d he said. He then described the reported match between the sisters\u2019 biometric information. \u201cBut the first case was that the children&#8217;s Aadhaar cards had the same retina. The fingerprints were almost the same.<!-- --> There was no issue.\u201d According to him, the problem became apparent when the Aadhaar records were scanned. \u201cBut when the Aadhaar card was being scanned, the children&#8217;s Aadhaar cards were being rejected. <!-- -->Due to the same retina, the children&#8217;s Aadhaar cards were not being registered. This is a rare case.\u201d He said the family had never heard of a similar situation before.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"53\"\/><\/p>\n<p><h2>DM called it a \u2018very rare case\u2019<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"55\"\/>Rampur district magistrate Ajay Kumar Dwivedi described it as a very unusual case involving the biometric details of identical twins. \u201cThis is a very rare case because there are no identical twins like this, whose fingerprint and retina scans were matched,\u201d he told ANI. He added that the district administration worked on the issue with the relevant authorities. \u201cSo that&#8217;s why this was a very rare case.
