NOIDA: Police on Friday claimed to have busted an international kidney transplant racket in Noida with the arrest of two persons, including a Bangladeshi national who alleged that he was brought to India and was being forced to donate a kidney. The other person is an Indian facilitator, cops said.
The arrests came after Ahmed Sharif, the alleged donor, fell out with the patient, Mohammed Kabir, and dialled 112 informing police that he was being forced to donate his kidney. While the donor and the facilitator have been arrested, Kabir and his attendant continue to be at Fortis hospital in Noida, where the transplant was scheduled to take place. The alleged kingpin of the racket, Abdul Mannan, a travel agent, is based in Bangladesh.
