Organ transplant Racket: Delhi crime Branch writes to 11 private hospitals seeking details

New Delhi: Delhi Police have written to 11 private hospitals seeking details in connection with an organ transplant racket exposed by its Crime Branch earlier this month.
According to the police, the Delhi Crime branch arrested 15 people so far in the case.
Additionally, police said that Sandeep Arya, the mastermind of the kidney racket case, had worked at multiple private hospitals.
Earlier this month, the Delhi Police Crime Branch unveiled modus operandi in an organ transplantation racket with international links, operating across Bangladesh and India.
According to the senior officials of the crime branch, the accused had got their jobs done at the hospitals and had also lured a doctor and a translator.
The Delhi Police Crime Branch revealed that 35 transplants were conducted in two hospitals.
As per officials, the accused had created fake letterheads from hospitals in Bangladesh and only changed the email address.
According to them, the organ racketeers had printed fake letterheads of the hospitals in Bangladesh. The accused had only changed the email addresses. These accused were well aware that their email would be sent to the concerned hospitals in Bangladesh and would help access the email.
New email IDs were created because the accused knew they were unable to hack the email IDs. After receiving emails from the Indian hospitals about the documents, the accused themselves replied positively to them.

The donors and recipients were trained to answer in Bengali, knowing that the interview panel might not be able to understand the language.
The translator was involved in the racket and used to inform about details prepared by the team, irrespective of the answers given by the patients. Donors and recipients were coached to avoid contradictions during the panel interview.
Police said that it will seek details from the Bangladesh embassy regarding details of the donors and receivers. The priority is to verify the documents submitted by the hospital. Further action on the accused will be decided later.
Earlier on July 9, the Delhi Police Crime Branch arrested a doctor and busted the same organ transplantation racket.
Amit Goel, DCP Crime Branch, said, "Seven people have been arrested in connection with an international organ transplant racket."
Further, he said, "The mastermind of this racket was a Bangladeshi. Both the donor and the recipient were from Bangladesh. We have arrested a person named Russell, who used to arrange the patients and donors. The female doctor involved in the transplants has also been arrested," he said.
