Officials in Tiruchi inspected STAR KIMS Hospital, linked to an illegal kidney transplant racket busted in Maharashtra. The hospital director, identified as one of the surgeons involved, allegedly charged ₹20 lakh per transplant. The inspection found only administrative staff present, with no patients or doctors. The investigation, prompted by a farmer's complaint about selling a kidney in Cambodia, has uncovered a nationwide network of agents, donors, doctors, and hospitals.
