Kidney Racket & Dysfunctional Medical Laws
| Editorial , Ceylon Today
( April 29, 2014, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Some unscrupulous Sri Lankan doctors have allegedly made a fortune by luring poor Indian men to sell their kidneys, which were then transplanted in new recipients who coughed up on average 4-5 million rupees for their organ transplants. Information revealed by three Indian agents who were arrested by the Police in Andhra Pradesh is sickening. Police say that the suspects who themselves had sold their kidneys to rogue Sri Lankan doctors have facilitated the sale of 21 kidneys of poor Indian villagers during the last several months.
Worse still, Police say many of those hapless Indian kidney donors have been duped by Lankan doctors. One such victim, known as Kiran was quoted in the flagship Indian newspaper, the Times of India, as saying that though he was initially promised a half a million rupees, doctors after removing his kidney paid him only Rs 390,000. Those very doctors had been making a fortune, charging 4-5 million rupees from the patients in order to transplant those unlawfully obtained kidneys.
What has allegedly taken place in some of those state-of-the art private hospitals in Sri Lanka is a mafia- styled exploitation of the poor and the vulnerable. The lax legal regulations governing organ transplant in Sri Lanka and the sense of urgency of the life saving operation has been exploited by the unscrupulous entities in the medical profession to make a fast buck at the expense of poor and vulnerable donors and equally helpless recipients.
Incriminating details unearthed by the Indian police have proved a nexus between some of the local doctors, Indian agents, donors and recipients. Some rogue doctors have operated safe havens for unscrupulous organ donors and paid their expenses during their stay in Sri Lanka as part of a monetary package that the donors have been promised in return for their kidneys.
It is disturbing that the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA), which has regularly been speaking up for the professional rights of the doctors is maintaining a deafening silence on the scam. Such a silence could well be opportunistic.
The Ministry of Health has launched a probe on all kidney transplant operations performed from January 2013 to April 2014 at private hospitals in the country.
Director, Private Medical Institutions Development Unit, Dr. Kanthi Ariyaratne, has been instructed to investigate the donors, the surgeons and medical teams that performed transplant operations and as to whether any exchange of money had taken place or any third party had been involved in obtaining kidneys .

Hyderabad police busts kidney transplant racket says
Hyderabad: The Hyderabad police on Sunday claimed to have busted a kidney transplant racket by arresting two touts who allegedly connived with a government doctor to sell donors’ kidneys to the needy and extracted money from them.
The duo, identified as Rajendra Prasad and Venkatasrinivas used to lure people in need of money to part with their kidneys by promising them around Rs. 5 lakh in return, police said.
They then used to take the needy to Ramesh Chada, who runs a super-specialty hospital at Karkhana area in the city, and would remove kidneys after performing medical tests on them.
The accused used to pay the donors Rs. 1 lakh and charge anything from Rs. 15 lakh to Rs. 20 lakh from the receivers for arranging kidneys, an investigating officer said.
Based on a complaint from one Yadagiri, police registered a case against the arrested accused, the doctor and two of his assistants.
They have been booked on charges of cheating and under relevant sections of the Andhra Pradesh Transplantation of Human Organs Act, police said.
City Police Bust Colombo Kidney Racket; 3 Agents Held says
A nexus between kidney agents in the city and doctors in Sri Lanka was busted by the Hyderabad police, which has been investigating the death of a city youth in Sri Lanka. However, the death of Dinesh Maru in Sri Lanka was due to cardiac arrest, confirmed the police.
The Central Crime Station arrested three agents – N Venkatesham (38), a computer hardware expert from Nalgonda, DSP Srinivas (25), an MBA student from Vanasthalipuram and Govind Suryanarayana (29) from Vijayawada.
Addressing a press conference here on Tuesday, police commissioner Anurag Sharma said the trio allegedly facilitated the sale of kidneys. The trio had allegedly sent at least 21 persons to Colombo from Hyderabad. Sometimes the donor victims become agents on return. According to him, the gang has several agents operating in cities like Pune, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Bhubaneshwar, Kurukshetra apart from Hyderabad.
Detailing the case, which stemmed from a complaint lodged by one Ganesh, brother of the deceased Dinesh (who had email
conversations with the agents on kidney transplantation) suspected that his brother’s death was due to the kidney racket, the commissioner said the agents collect donor’s details from internet postings and used to inform a Sri Lankan doctor, who arranged for flight tickets, accommodation and surgeries at some selected hospitals,” Sharma said.
After settling a package with needy patients for Rs 30-Rs 50 lakh, the doctor used to pay only Rs 3-Rs 5 lakh to the donor while Rs 1.5 lakh to agents as their commission, he said.
“In this case, Dinesh had approached Venkatesham, who promised him Rs 5 lakh and accordingly he, along with one Kiran Kumar, left for Colombo on March 23. Kiran was also to sell his kidney along with Dinesh as per the deal,” Sharma said.
‘’On March 28, the duo along with another Indian Aram Zargar, who had undergone kidney surgery and got discharged went to the beach where Dinesh consumed beer, smoked heavily and swam in the sea. On the next day Dinesh and Kiran went to the hospital where Kiran was to be admitted for surgery,” the police chief said.
“But on reaching the hospital, Dinesh fell sick. He was then rushed to Colombo Government Hospital for treatment but on reaching there the doctors declared him brought dead,” Sharma said. Kiran Kumar hails from Chintalakodi in West Godavari district.
He along with Dinesh and Aram Zargar (from Kashmir) travelled to Colombo from Chennai on April 23. He confirmed that Dinesh died even before a surgery was performed on him. Though a case under the Information Technology Act was registered, various sections of the AP Transplantation of Human Organs Act, 1995 have also been added.

Well Done Dr.Manoj Gupta & Team this is very good research in DRDO.

Kiran was also to sell his kidney along with Maroo as per the deal,” Sharma said.According to police, Maroo told his family members that he was going to Sri Lanka for job.“On March 28, the duo along with another Indian Aram Zargar, who had undergone kidney surgery and got discharged went to the beach where Maroo consumed beer, smoked heavily and swam in the sea. On the next day Maroo and Kiran went to the hospital where kiran was to be admitted for surgery ,” the police chief explained.“But on reaching the hospital, Maroo fell sick and vomited and on his way to the room he developed breathing problem.He was then rushed to Colombo Government Hospital for treatment but on reaching there the doctors declared him brought dead,” said the police officer.On March 30, Maroo’s brother was informed in this regard and his body was brought to Hyderabad on April 3, he added.
“This gang has several agents operating from different parts of India even as sometimes the donors themselves become agents to lure others,” Sharma said.The trio had allegedly sent at least 21 persons to Colombo from Hyderabad and further investigations were on to nab other accused involved in the racket. ” A team will be sent to Sri Lanka in this regard,” the police commissioner said.
