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.
NEVER DO ANY THING ILLEGAL. IF IT IS WRONG DONT DO IT. STEALING OTHERS BODY PARTS WITH OR WITHOUT CONSENT IS WRONG.
You
Lakshmi,I support your views 100%.Media gets behind a person,good but it needs unraveling the white clad beneficiaries he bribed to let him go on who need being brought to book too,plus the immorality/illegality of his acts throws open the issue of the state having abdicated its role and responsibility towards provision of basic services of healthcare and primary education to those that can ill afford that and which space gets filled by guys like Kumar.Frankly,such issues get to light when an insider is piqued at not receiving what he may feel happens to be his due or there is a rival willing to cut a better deal with cops and the underworld and the white clad with a much more "professional" arrangement.And is there anyone willing to deny the V P Singh stuff enjoying himself at Indian taxpayers expense.Thanks.
I understand the agony of this woman and pity her. What can she and her children look forward? What wrong did she and her children do? I would like to know if there were any deaths in these transplant surgeries. That doctor could be accused of legal violations but one should not forget that he has saved people whose kidneys failed. Will the Indian govt pay the cost of a single dialysis for a person whose kidneys are not functioning? If you go to a govt hospital, it is like a one way ticket to Yama Lok. Remember, rascals like V.P. Singh go to the UK for treatment at the cost of the exchequer. The media is too eager to rush to the wrong conclusions. The media never said (or wound not say) if any one died because of these illegal operations. God save this country.
Lalloo Yadav and Ramadoss were more horrible than this person!
