Kathmandu, February 7: Dr Amit Kumar, the alleged kingpin in the multi-crore rupees kidney transplant racket has been arrested in Nepal, the ‘Himalayan Times’ newspaper reported tonight. The paper reported it on its website.

Earlier, Nepalese police told PTI that they had intensified the hunt for people involved in the kidney transplant racket allegedly run by Kumar, who is suspected to be hiding in the Himalayan state.

Nepalese minister of state for home Ram Choudhri also confirmed the arrest and said, "yes, he has been arrested". The arrest was made at Chitwan, 60 km from Raxaul on the Indo-Nepal border. He said the DIG (Chitwan) informed him about the arrest.

"We have been investigating the matter and we cannot reveal the details until the investigation is over," Kathmandu district police chief Upendra Kanta Aryal said.

Last week notice was issued by the Interpol for the arrest of Amit Kumar and his brother, saying the two were the ‘subject of national arrest warrants for illegal transplanting of kidneys, cheating and criminal conspiracy.’

Comment on Kidney racket story. by Ganesh Jha on 08 Feb 2008

To The Editor, IE, New Delhi. This is a normal arrest story. I have something to say. It is said that some multinational and private banks banks and their recovery agents in India are also involved in Kidney racket. As per reports they use to threat loan defaulters that if they did not pay up, they will take out the kidney to recover the bank loan money. This angle of the racket should also be investigated.Regards,GANESH JHA
