  • Kidney scam: Two more held, 'Dr Horror' still at large

    Gurgaon/Moradabad (PTI): The Haryana Police on wednesday issued production warrants against alleged mastermind of the kidney racket Amit Kumar and his brother and co-accused Jeevan even as two more persons were arrested in connection with the scam.

    Production warrants had been issued against absconders Amit Kumar dubbed as "Doctor Horror" and doctor Jeeven amid intense speculation that the brothers had fled the country.

    Giving this information, Gurgaon's Joint Commissioner of Police Manjeet Singh Ahlawat told reporters that searches by police teams were on to nab the two.

    Some places in the national capital were also raided in this connection, he said.

    Meanwhile, police arrested two more persons-- Jeeven's wife Puja and one Umesh, driver of the alleged kingpin -- in connection with the multi-crore organ transplant racket.

    The two were produced before a court in Gurgaon which remanded them to police custody till February six.

    The police had sought 14 days remand for both saying they were acting as money collectors for doctor Amit.

    After arguments, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Surya Pratap Singh sent them to police custody till February six.

    In Moradabad, another accused doctor Upendra, who was arrested on January 24, was sent to police custody by a court till February 5.

    On Tuesday, police had said both Amit and Jeeven did not possess requisite medical degrees and were indeed quacks.
