Hospital staff identified in kidney racket

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, OCT. 5. The New Delhi police have begun preparing a list of technicians, staffers and doctors of various hospitals to investigate their role in the kidney transplant cases registered over the past one month. They have also asked the Army Research and Referral Hospital to apprise them about the status of an inquiry it had set up to investigate the suspected involvement of the hospital staff in the racket.

It is learnt that till now, the police have identified over half-a-dozen lower subordinates at various hospitals and at least five doctors who were allegedly in the know that kidneys were being given illegally. In the first case, in which the complainant was allegedly operated upon at the Army Research and Referral Hospital, the accused had revealed that three technicians and staff members of the hospital were involved in the racket.

The Army instituted a court of inquiry into the matter and told the police that the three staff members would be handed over to them only after the inquiry was complete.
