Kidney Racket Scam

Apollo Hospitals has denied a British media report claiming the Indraprastha Apollo Hospital in Delhi is at the centre of an international "cash for kidneys" racket that sees poor people from Myanmar sell their organs for Rs 80-90 lakh each.

Days after a kidney racket was busted in Assam's Morigaon district and the arrest of four people, at least 15 cases have been uncovered where victims from financially disadvantaged communities sold their kidneys in a widening organ-trafficking racket

Five doctors, including the CEO and director of a top private hospital in Mumbai were arrested on Tuesday for their alleged involvement in the kidney selling racket.

Delhi Police today intensified its search for the main accused of the kidney trading racket, even as they served notices to Apollo Hospital authorities asking them to join probe and provide documents related to kidney transplants in the past few months.

The Hyderabad police on Sunday claimed to have busted a kidney transplant racket by arresting two touts who allegedly connived with a government doctor to sell donors' kidneys to the needy and extracted money from them.
