An alleged organ trade racket was busted by the joint team of CM flying squad, Gurugram health department and local police. The gang had bought kidneys and got transplants done in two private hospitals in Jaipur. The patients and donors were made to stay in a local guest house which was raided by the team. The police found two donors and three recipients there while one had left for his country. They named Jharkhand native Mohammed Murtaza Ansari as the mastermind. He allegedly took 10 lakhs from the recipients while only 2 lakhs were given to the donors.

According to the complaint filed by Dr. Pawan Chaudhary, Deputy Civil Surgeon, Gurugram, they acting on a tip off raided Babil Palace guest house in Sector 39. When the team reached the guest house, the owner took them to five guests who hailed from Bangladesh. The donors and recipients confirmed the transplant at a reputed hospital in Jaipur. They are not blood relatives and could not produce any legit document to support donation or receipt.

“A donor revealed that he got in touch with Ansari through a Facebook advertisement and sold his kidney for 2 lakhs. It is a violation of the transplantation of the human organs and tissues act 1994 and an act of cheating”, said Dr Chaudhary in his complaint.
