Unveiling the Kidney Racket

The Delhi police are currently investigating an international kidney transplant racket that was allegedly being run by individuals with links to two well known hospitals in the National Capital Region—Apollo and Yatharth.

An investigation of case records by The Indian Express, including interrogation reports, international approval forms, and call records, lay bare the racket that led to the arrest of 10 individuals, including a 50-year-old surgeon who allegedly conducted around 20-25 transplants for Bangladeshi patients over the past three years.

In this episode, The Indian Express’ Health Editor, Kaunain Sheriff, who led the investigation for the paper, discusses its key findings and the concerns it raises.
