Advertisement
Kanpur: Many Delhi based reputed hospitals have been served notices as their names popped up during an interrogation of the arrested members associated with recently busted kidney racket. The management teams of top hospitals including Fortis, Apollo and PSRI have been now asked to provide details of transplants done in the hospitals.
Medical Dialogues team earlier reported that six people associated with kidney racket, running in three different states as well as overseas were arrested by the police.
A Delhi doctor, identified as Ketan Kaushik, was allegedly an associate of the gang allegedly provided the kidney to the overseas clients and charged them higher compared to the Indian recipient.
The doctor would charge allegedly Rs 1.25 crore for a recipient of a kidney from abroad. If the recipient travelled to India, he would charge them Rs 75 lakh. If the surgeries took place overseas, the doctor sent the donor to the country where the recipient was based. If a recipient from abroad agreed to undergo surgery in India, Dr Ketan would coordinate between the receiver and donor and arrange surgeons too, but for an extra fee.
