Kanpur police arrest 6 in Kalyanpur kidney transplant racket
Kanpur police just busted a big illegal kidney transplant racket, arresting six people during raids on March 30 at Med-Life Hospital, Ahuja Hospital, and Priya Hospital in the Kalyanpur area.
The operation was led by a joint police and health department team headed by Chief Medical Officer Haridutt Nemi, and Police Commissioner Raghubir Lal has urged health authorities in several cities to crack down on fake practitioners.
Transplant network spans Delhi Lucknow Ghaziabad
This network stretched into hospitals in Delhi, Lucknow, and Ghaziabad, where unqualified personnel, including technicians and OT assistants, were involved in transplants.
Police are still searching for key suspects linked to large cash flows and international patients.
Videos found by investigators show victims from places like South Africa and Punjab sharing their struggles (one patient even lost huge sums of money).
The group used Telegram to connect with vulnerable people, including a Nepalese donor.
Medlife Hospital has now been shut down as authorities work to break up the entire operation.
