New Delhi/Toronto, February 1: Interpol on Friday issued Red Corner notices against alleged kidney transplant kingpin Amit Kumar and his brother, who are suspected to have fled to Canada.

"Kumar (40) and Jeevan Rawat (36) are both subject of national arrest warrants for illegally transplanting kidneys, cheating and criminal conspiracy," the Interpol warrants, issued following request from the CBI, said.

CBI informed the Interpol that the two doctors had allegedly conducted "forced" kidney operations on nearly 500 people during last eight years and the organs were transplanted on patients, including foreigners.

Six properties of Amit in Gurgaon, in the outskirts of the national capital, and eight bank accounts have been sealed by the Haryana Police.

The Police have arrested ten people so far in this connection including Amit's close associate Dr Upendra, a nurse from government-run Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, two cooks of the kingpin, the driver of the arrested associate and a quack Jagdish.

Several doctors, nurses and other para-medic staff have been questioned to ascertain the extent of the network illegally set up by Amit and his associates.

The unscrupulous organ trade came to fore when Haryana police discovered a three-storeyed house in Gurgaon being surreptitiously used for kidney operations.

Dubbed as Kidney kingpin and "Dr Horror", Amit is said to be a frequent visitor to Canada where his family is believed to be residing.

A spokesperson of Canadian Police said it was liaising with its Indian counterparts to help track down the culprits.

concern for purse than patient by Kumar on 02 Feb 2008

There are so many - who instead of suggesting what is the best course of treatment which improves quality of life to the patient, they look for the ways to suggest unwarranted surgeries, laboratory tests, MRIs, X rays. Patients ignorance about medical conditions is taken as advantage in addition to non unmaintained of patient records by private sector. Normal consultation procedure in a typical indian clinic is doctor examines you and your purse, then suggests tests which may run into pages and then gives you a prescription. There is no recording of history, or patients allergic conditions or maintain ace of record for the patients next visit. Nor he provides any bill for the consultation fee he.she charged. After few days there wont be a trace of document that the patient visited the clinic. It is difficult to understand what medical council of India does to regularize the system. It happens in south India too. So far what we have seen is a tip of the iceberg.
