UIDAI has taken a step to correct this issue by allowing the user to lock their biometrics until they want to use them to authenticate somewhere. Now you might be on the hook with no way to prove that the SIM isn't owned by you. Now said person uses that fingerprint to create a JIO sim with your fingerprint and uses said sim to commit a crime. For example, say a criminal stores your fingerprint which you used to authenticate somewhere. You leave finger prints all over the place and there is nothing stopping a company from say storing your fingerprints and reusing at a later date. The main reason for fear should be that fingerprints are not a fool proof method of authentication. Aadhaar details are never transmitted by UIDAI. People who are saying that data can be leaked by UIDAI are just fear mongering.
