    Credits:
  • After a month-long investigation, the Delhi Police busted a kidney racket at the prominent Indraprastha Apollo Hospital and arrested two secretaries and three touts.

    DCP Randhawa stated that the touts got donors from Delhi, Kanpur, West Bengal and Chennai and forged required documents.

    Following the incident, the Delhi government set-up a five-member panel to probe the racket and submit its report within 15 days.

  • Personal

    Arrested hospital staffers

  • Those arrested include: Aditya Singh and Shailesh Saxena, who are assistants to a senior nephrologist and Aseem Sikdar, Satya Prakash, and Devashish Moulik, who had lured poor people to sell kidneys in exchange for money.

  • Modus Operandi

    Luring the poor

    Luring the poor
  • Those involved reportedly used to lure the poor across many states to sell their kidneys.

    They used to look for people desperately needing a kidney transplant and pressurize them.

    Then they used to forge the required documents to establish a relationship between the recipient and donor.

    The recipients were charged Rs.40-50 lakh while the donors were paid only 10% of the total amount.

  • Fake Documents

    Kidney recipients' fake addresses

  • During the investigation, the police found that those, who had received kidneys from the racket, had forged their documents to hide their real addresses.

    An investigation official stated that police have shortlisted three senior doctors from Apollo Hospital's in-house assessment committee that verifies the documents related to organ transplants.

    It is likely that they would be questioned as they had reportedly cleared transplant-related papers.

  • Quote

    A matter of grave concern: Apollo

  • Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals had stated: "We are cooperating and providing to them all information required to help them in their investigation. This matter is of grave concern and our teams are extending all support to the police."

  • Several teams were sent across cities to get hold Rajkumar Rao-the racket's kingpin; it is believed that he is involved in other similar rackets in Sri Lanka, Nepal, and Indonesia.

    Two donors participating in this fraud are likely to be arrested.

    Suspecting the association of some senior staff members and doctors, the police served notices to Apollo Hospital under CrPC sections 90 and 160.

  • Personal

    Illegal transplants at Jalandhar and Coimbatore

  • The police came across five kidney transplant cases in Delhi through the same racket. Reportedly, the accused revealed about 10-15 other operations during the interrogation that were conducted in Jalandhar and Coimbatore in the last two years.

  • Scrutinizing Team

  • Apollo Hospital was asked to join the investigation and provide transplant-related documents of the hospital that would be scrutinized by a 25-member team.

    A total of five people have been arrested so far, including administrative assistants of a senior Apollo Hospital doctor.

    Two prominent private hospitals of Delhi, in particular, are also being examined in the wake of the recent incident.
