The Delhi Police on Friday, busted a kidney racket gang operating in a leading private hospital in the national capital, which allegedly used to deal with the transplantation of the organ.
According to the sources, the police have arrested five people and have detained one in this regard.
The Delhi Police have registered a case in Sarita Vihar station in this regard.
The gang also includes two women and two clerical staff from the hospital.
The staff present in the private hospital used to inform Asim, (who is allegedly the mastermind of the gang) about the need of kidney by the patients.
Asim, then used to find donors who could give the kidneys to needful patients and in exchange, huge amounts of money would be given to donors and the gang would get a cut from the profits.
