Major kidney racket exposed

In a shocking case from Uttar Pradesh, Kanpur Police uncovered a large illegal kidney transplant racket and arrested six people on March 31. The gang is accused of carrying out a transplant without permission. The case came to light after a dispute over money between the donor and the gang members. Now, a video of the accused, reportedly the fake 'doctor' involved in the case, has gone viral on social media.

Deal made through Telegram

Police said the racket used digital platforms to find donors. A demand was posted on a Telegram group by a man identified as Dr Afzal, who is linked to a hospital in Meerut.

A young man named Ayush from Bihar, who was studying in Dehradun, agreed to donate his kidney after being promised ₹6 lakh. However, he was paid only ₹3.5 lakh.

This payment dispute led to a complaint, which helped police uncover the entire racket.

Role of hospitals and accused

During the investigation, links to Meerut’s Alpha Hospital came up. Police said several staff members may be involved.

In Kanpur, police arrested Dr Surjit Singh of Ahuja Hospital, his wife Preeti Ahuja, and others. Preeti Ahuja was also a vice-president of the Kanpur IMA.

An ambulance driver named Shivam was also arrested. Police said he pretended to be a doctor to cheat people.

Two OT technicians from Ghaziabad, Kuldeep and Rajesh, were also held.

Fake doctor shock

A shocking detail emerged about a man named Mudassar Ali. Police first believed he was a doctor who performed the surgery.

However, when officers visited his house, his wife said he was not a doctor but an OT technician.

This raised serious questions about how such surgeries were carried out.

Another person is also seen in the video. The clip has triggered wide discussion and anger.

Health department steps in

The Meerut health department has issued a notice to Alpha Hospital. Chief Medical Officer Dr Ashok Kataria has asked for a reply within three days.

The notice names several staff members, including a physiotherapist and doctors.

However, the hospital management has denied all charges. The manager said no doctor named Afzal works there and called the allegations false.

Victims shifted for treatment

Both Ayush and Parul Tomar, who received the kidney, have been discharged from the hospital. They have been sent to Lucknow for better treatment.

Police are now checking hospital records and trying to connect all parts of the racket.
