The Delhi Police Crime Branch has arrested seven people, including a doctor, in connection with an international organ transplant racket with links in Bangladesh and India. According to Amit Goel, DCP Crime Branch, the mastermind of this racket was a Bangladeshi who arranged for both donors and recipients from Bangladesh. A person named Russell, who used to arrange patients and donors, has also been arrested.
