An investigation into an illegal kidney racket, originating from a farmer's complaint in Chandrapur, Maharashtra, has uncovered a pan-India network. Police have dispatched teams to Delhi and Tamil Nadu to apprehend two doctors allegedly involved in facilitating illegal kidney transplants. The racket, which preyed on debt-ridden individuals, involved agents, donors, and hospitals, with some operations extending to Cambodia. Offences under the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act have been invoked as the probe expands.
