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.’
