For many like construction worker Sakil, it all sounded like a good employer. Soon they were to realise the cost: their kidneys.
In the last about ten years, the multi-crore kidney scam involving absconding "Dr Horror" Amit alias Santosh Raut has claimed at least 500 illegal transplants.
Sakil, Salim and Nasim are mostly poor, semi-skilled labourers. Lying in Civil Hospital, Gurgaon, they share a real-life horror story.
When Sakil was taken to a house-cum-hospital No. 4374, Sector 23, Gurgaon on the night of January 23, he found at least three persons lying on the bed, refusing to talk, something he too was told to follow by two masked men "looking after the patients".
The next morning Sakil woke up with pain in the stomach. He was told by "doctors" that his kidney has been removed.
Two days later as Sakil rested on the bed speechless, an Uttar Pradesh police team trooped in looking for suspects in the massive kidney racket.
The police found that along with Sakil, Salim and Nasim too had lost their kidneys to "Dr Horror" Amit and his cronies.
The police rescued two youths, Ajay Kumar and Sanjay Kumar, both residents of Meerut, waiting for the "check-up".
Sakil says he can't forget the two men who had met him on Jan 16, the day when it all began. Sakil says he was waiting for an odd job near Old Delhi Railway Station in the afternoon when a middle-aged Muslim with beard and a youth offered him a job of a whitewasher. He was promised Rs. 150 per day for a period of two-and-a-half months.
Hardly literate, he agreed.
"I was introduced to a contractor at India Gate who drove an Esteem car. He said he would provide me a job," Sakil (28) said.
"The two persons then disappeared leaving me with the contractor in the car late in the evening that day", recalls Sakil.
As the car moved fast, he was asked whether he had some disease. "When I told him I had none, he insisted on a check-up and in the car itself took my blood sample and told me that I was OK", Sakil says.
For the next couple of days Sakil was kept in a house, "most probably near Ballabhgarh, Faridabad along with four others".
On the night of January 21, the Esteem car driver took him in his car. "After about two hours, we reached near a petrol pump where I was told to get into a black Santro car. In minutes we reached a house and the car driver knocked at the gate in a particular style," recalls Sakil.
When he entered the house it was around 2.30 am. The Santro driver had vanished.
On the night of January 22, two gunmen came and took him to a separate room where a lot of medical equipment was lying.
Sakil said, "I was made to lie on a stretcher, despite my objection, but they told me not to worry as this was part of a medical check-up. Two persons who had covered their faces with green cloth gave me an injunction and I lost my consciousness."
"When I regained consciousness, after around three hours, I felt pain near the stomach and enquired about it. The gunmen told me that my kidney has been removed and that I would be paid as promised," Sakil said.
Salim, 35, also has the same story -- the same bearded Muslim man, the same Esteem and Santro cars and the same Gurgaon "hospital". A resident of Sahapeer Gate, Sahakasa Bazaar, Meerut, Salim works as a labourer. He is married and has five children.
Sakil's father Abdulla Fakir, who works as a tailor, says with tears in his eyes that his son has lost his kidney without a penny being paid to him.
"The government should provide us some monetary compensation and a job," says Fakir.
Sakil' mother angrily demands punishment to all guilty persons.
This is horrendous. Who are these Bastards doctors ? They should get at least life imprisonment and all their property confisicated. This is why they earned their education. Shame on them and their parents. Oh Lord what is all this
The coulprits should be hanged to death
Our system has gone deaf
We see the news with India's booming sector it's economic reforms...this is how India collecting money form the poor fellows. It's not only money that matters but ethics too...I just wanna humilate these "Dr Horrors".. they are fulfilling their pocket by selling the blood of poor mens, so nothing got changed.. everything remains same. It doesn't matter how far India can move... these guys and their mentality will continue to chase this country...GDP growth is more then 8% but mental growth is -8%. Shame on these doctors.
Corruption/Mafia/scams/rackets/Human trafficking... what not.It is very unfortunate to be an Indian working abroad.It is shame and disgusting to see these flash news in foreign media like NITHARI/Noida children organs
As punishment for Dr. Horror (Amit), one kidney should be removed from him
This is the age of kaliyuga.Only 5000 years have passed ,still 4,27,000 years to go.. Wonder what will happen ?? Our only hope is God consciousness and nothing else..
some doctor amputate some beggars, some other takes away kidney. Another one suggests unwarranted operation, unwarranted medical and laboratory tests. These are hot news for few days. Then all these unethical people if ever caught, go unpunished. Cases drag on for years. Then even if they were to be convicted - it will be mere fine equivalent few thousand rupees fine which is equal to their few days earnings.
Education has nothing to do with it. we have become a country with very high level of corruption in the government machinery. the institutes which are supposed to check the "corruption" are themselves centre of corruption. I need not name them. Commom indian cannot do anything , unless he has enough money to fight, but when u have money, why u will fight unnnecessarily for the corruption? with this demoralisation of "higher ups" and corruption of the government machinery, we cannot expect a fair and just society. Explotation of humans is natural fallout of such "corrupt" and "demoralised" society. when we write here, we are doing nothing but want to feel "elevated" than the commoner. if we are really concerned, we should knock at the doors of all the concerned "public institutes " and wake them up from the slumber.we have system in place, concerned citizen need to come forward to activate it

It is India and this been continuied for a long time and both governments of Congress and BJP keep quiet on this issue. I suggest the next Bharat Ratna be given to the absconding doctor
Sakil was done in by the decietful offer of a job and not due to lack on education. Morever rich and medium class people like you and me only have the luxury of education in our country which is not available to poor people like Sakil. How can we be so heartless and blame Sakil for losing his kidney ?
This all happens because, our political machinery, the police all are brazenly corrupt. Our Judiciary is hopeless. Cases get dragged on for ages. Criminals have no fear of law. Victims don't get any justice ! Murderers of innocent children in NITHARI case are still enjoying themselves. Only TALIBANI law of justice can save this country now !
This is happened due to innocence of Mr.Sakil and due to lack of education and social awareness.Its purely his mistake.not Government's mistake. From this everyone should educate their children atleast to gain some knowledge and how the society is running today.And for this the citizens should avail all the free education facilities provided by government of India.And Police authorities mistake is there. Because daily many people are going and coming from a house means, its definitely not a house.It should be a working place. So they need to check that plot is which working place and registered/licenced or not.Thank You.
