A senior Delhi Police official said that this decision has been taken after the instructions of the central government.

Now you cannot prove your citizenship through Aadhar card, PAN card or ration card. In simple words, even if you have these three documents, you will not be able to prove on the basis of them whether you are an Indian citizen or not. Delhi Police has clarified that now only Voter ID card or passport will be considered as proof of citizenship. A senior Delhi Police official said that this decision has been taken after the instructions of the Central Government.
In fact, during the verification campaign running since October last year, it was found that a large number of illegally residing foreign nationals, especially Bangladeshis and Rohingyas, were falsely claiming Indian citizenship by using Aadhaar, PAN and ration cards.
According to a Hindustan Times report, the police official said, “Many illegal immigrants were found to be carrying Aadhaar cards, ration cards, PAN cards and even cards issued by the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees). This made it difficult to properly identify Indian citizens. Hence, voter ID cards or Indian passports have now been made mandatory.”
Delhi Police has directed DCPs of all districts to increase surveillance on suspicious persons in their areas. The officer said that the campaign against illegal immigrants will continue until everyone is sent back.
