Poonam Kumar, who along with her two young sons lives in a spacious home in Brampton, said that she has not spoken to her husband since the scandal broke two weeks ago and that she has not been informed about his arrest.
"My husband is innocent," she said in her first media comments on the issue. "You tell me what human would want to do these things to anyone. My husband didn't do anything wrong."
Clad in a 'salwar-kameez', a depressed-looking Poonam, who was speaking in both Hindi and Punjabi, said "my life is finished."
"I have great respect for media but it has pre-judged the issue," she said, adding that she has not left her Brampton home for seven days and is running out of groceries.
The boys have not gone to school since last week as she attempted to shield them from the world media knocking on her door. "I don't know what my options are. I don't know where I'm going to go," Poonam said.
She said her husband was not ‘the monster he's been portrayed as around the world, but a doctor who just wants to help people in need’.
"Everyone is calling him the 'kingpin' and such things, but he didn't do anything wrong," said Poonam, adding the first time she heard anything about his alleged involvement in kidney transplants was from watching news.

Simpathy for you and children and take care of your self and children. There may not be much you can do to help him. The law will take its own course.
right -he is not monster but much more than monster-monster is considered as monster but humanbeing making such act of monstorism is called SAITAN and should be dealt accordingly-should be punished in public by public
No mercy, death penalty is the only justice, otherwise, many Amits will born again. Poonam must be an educated lady she had no idea at all from where all this wealth is coming being a wife ! Enjoyed luxurious life at the cost of poor people, now playing innocent, ha ha ha ah
If Amit is not innocent Govarnament should sale ther all property including abrod one
We can't compare Amit with a monster...even monsters feel ashamed if we do so...hanging him in public will act as a lesson to many more hidden "Amits"
He Should be hanged with out even trail sine he cheated uneducated people. His action can not be justified on any account
How does she explain living a luxurious life in Canada, whereas her husband is a doctor in India? I have only heard the reverse happen so far i.e. doctors in Canada/US having luxury in India due to the converted money value.
I have sympathy for Poonam who along with kidney scam. She had also been victim of Amit Kumar's lie. This is time when every one who has enjoyed lucre is paying back. That is why it is said that earn little but earn with dignity to keep your head high. The black money earned by many has made life of honest people miserable in India because they are ready to pay higher price for a commodity which a honest person fails to pay from his hard earned income.
Wifely sentiments aside, who does she think she is fooling? Probably only herself. As per her own line, she too should not "pre-judge the issue andf say he is not guilty till he is shown to be innocent.
Ms Bonehead- Either you don't know or you're trying to protect an animal, a criminal that is also unlawful offense. Your choice to continue a relationship with a criminal.
Oh Yes! He is a monster alright! A kidney munching moster! Your life in luxury is from that kidney money your monster husband got from the kidneys of poor Indians.
I dont think this man called Dr.Amit is a doctor. He is one of those fake doctors purchsed his certificate from North India. We have plenty of fake certificates and degree running around.
Probably she is an accomplish too!!sounds unreal she would'nt know where $$ are coming from
Till now theeen qualifications etc of the so called Dr Amit Kumar have not been shown in the media such surgeries and post op management cannot be eccopmlished without help from tertiary lvel doctors and medical institutions If there is anythng illegal in this whole affair they are far more guilty Why isthe Indian Medical Association quite though it is always vociferous for even small facilities of its membes
That's why you are his wife. Keep it up, may be inside the jail and hopefully through the galow (I am not so sure considering our system and your hubby's money power and ability to buy politicians, lawyers and judges).
INNOCENT! My Ass!
I agree to some extent as what Ms. Lakshmi says in her message but she seems to forget that an individual body has been violated without their consent in most cases (allegedly). I would like her to give her kidneys under those conditions and then let me see if she praises the Doctor for the all the good deeds he has done by putting her kidney into a person who kidney has failed. First of all let me say that I don't believe anything about this case. Secondly, I don't believe all these alleged operations happened without the knowledge of the local police and politicians. Doctor is just a scapegoat who is going to take all of the blame. If the events mentioned are true then the Doctor in question is a player and not the only one that should be put in jail
All of Amit's family members, friends, and co-workers those who are involved in this worst business will be behind bar throughout life and Amit should be hanged immediately after proper justice
Is this lady his wife? I dont think so since she is speaking a completely different tone. May be another plot by Dr Kumar to gain sympathu
choorni , chor ka saath de rahi hai , iski bhi kidney kaat ke kutton ko khila do
I think this guy has perfected the technique. I wish the other docs learn from him and the government actually has him teach his techniques in medical schools.
Who are you kidding lady.?If he was innocent why did he go hiding and then why did try bribing the Nepali police to let him go.Common,would you feel the same if you or your kids were victims of his horrendous acts.Simmer down and let the law prevail
After reading your comments, I believe you are sympathizing with the wrong people as you are unaware of all the facts the story has to offer. There was an extensive show on CNN which brought to limelight the selling of Kidneys to the Western world from the poverty-striken people in liue petty cash owed to them. This business became dirty and an investigation began. A wife doesn't know what the husband does?? what a family??
her husband not a monster but killer of thousands and should be punished in public
Assuming Dr.Amit is innoce but let the nation know why and how he managed to get 5 passports and what was the necessity. From where he made billions, what business he was doing if not selling Kidneys.if he is really innocent then let him spill the benas about his partners and patrons.
