New Delhi, February 15: The kidney racket got murkier on Friday with seven Delhi Police personnel, who could have blown the lid of the scam three weeks before it was unearthed, being booked for allegedly taking about Rs 20 lakh bribe to let off an associate of kingpin Dr Amit Kumar.

The seven policemen, including an Assistant Sub Inspector of Police Ravinder Kumar Singh, were accused of accepting the bribe from Dr Upendra, a close aide of Kumar.

While Singh has been arrested, the other six personnel are absconding. He was produced before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate A K Kuhar who remanded him to judicial custody till February 18.

Kumar, his brother Jeevan and many of his close associates in the illegal kidney transplant scam, managed to give police the slip shortly shortly before his clinic in Gurgaon on Delhi’s outskirts was raided on January 24.

Upendra, an MBBS from Ballabhgarh, was subsequently arrested from a flat in Gurgaon on January 24.

Facing probing questions by reporters, Additional Commissioner of Police (Crime Branch) Satyendra Garg accepted that if the bribe money had not been taken, the racket would have been busted much earlier.

“But still we have busted an extortion racket,” Garg said.

The Delhi Police team led by Singh had raided the Gurgaon clinic and picked up Upendra on January seven but let the latter go after paying the policemen Rs 19.85 lakh, he said.

God save India. A corrupt people will get corrupt system. by Anand Babu on 15 Feb 2008

This is the sorry state of justice in India. This is the country Indians have built up during the last 60 years. No one is accountable to anything. If not a banana what is India? You may say it is only a minority who takes bribe. May be, but this minority is good enough to choke the system. The full responsibility for this sorry state of India is on INC (Indira national Congress) Today just saw an article on New York Times. The article say India had mediocre woman leader. Who is that person? No marks to guess it correct.

anand babu - what a way to co-relate two totally different stories with an ulterior objective of defaming some one (again no marks for guessing who). Your saffron friends like the erstwhile party president who was caught taking money on camera are all Ganga bathed and pure.
