New Delhi - Indian investigative agencies have found the money trail in a multimillion-dollar kidney transplant racket leading to Hong Kong and Australia, and will ask authorities in those to help in the probe, news reports said Sunday.
The alleged kingpin of the racket, Amit Kumar, and his associates are accused of performing more than 500 kidney transplant surgeries over a decade by procuring organs for paltry sums of money from poor people and transplanting them on wealthy recipients.
New Delhi, Feb 8 : The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) today denied having received any formal confirmation from Kathmandu about the arrest of alleged kidney transplant racket kingpin, Dr. Amit Kumar, but expressed hope of full co-operation from Nepal in the case.
In a major breakthrough, the Nepal unit of Interpol and Nepal police, on Thursday, arrested Dr Amit from a jungle resort in Chitwan in Nepal.
