Delhi Police Uncover International Organ Transplant Racket Led by Sandeep Arya
New Delhi, July 27: The Delhi Police have uncovered a major organ transplant racket involving 15 arrests, including the mastermind, Sandeep Arya. The racket operated across India and Bangladesh, using fake documents and coaching donors and recipients.
Details of the Racket
The Delhi Crime Branch revealed that the accused had conducted 35 transplants in two hospitals. They created fake letterheads from hospitals in Bangladesh and changed email addresses to deceive authorities. Donors and recipients were trained to answer in Bengali to avoid detection.
Involvement of Hospital Staff
The accused lured a doctor and a translator into the scheme. The translator informed the team about the details prepared, regardless of the patients’ answers. The police are now seeking details from 11 private hospitals and the Bangladesh embassy to verify documents.
Arrests and Ongoing Investigation
