Kidney Robbers
As grizzly details of the Gurgaon kidney racket tumble out, the question that agitates the minde the most is as to how such a heinous crime could go on for so many years in the Millenium City right under the nose of the Police. The sheer scale of this inhuman operation takes one’s breath away. Over 500 kidney transplant operations took place illegely with recipients coming from countries like the US, the UK, Greece, Canada & Saudi Arabia while the lossers were poor & hapless dailywage workers mostly from Western Uttar Pradesh. Some of them were given a pittance for their vital organ. Many “donors” were simply robbed of their kidneys. All this was being done as a well-oiled racket by doctors who tore their sacred Hippocratic oath to pieces shamelessly. The police has identified four of them & arrested one.
What is all the more galling is the fact that the same gang had been busted several times earlier. Yet, they continued to implement their barbaric designs & made something like RS 100 crore. The prime accused, Dr. Amit Kumar, is believed to be the Dr. Santosh Raut whom the Mumbai Police had been chasing since 1993. According to the UP Police, he was also arrested in Delhi’s Nizammudin area in 2000. The gang also operated its illegal trade from Jaipur, Guntar & Hyderabad. The mastermind has once again given the slip to the police. That raises another vital: question is the government machinery at all capable of tackling rackets of such dimensions? Given the scale of the operation, there are reasons to suspect that this may be only the tip of the iceberg. Reports of similar rackets keep emanating from various places off & on. These dots may very well be connected. Now that the police of Haryana & Uttar Pradesh has stumbled on the scandal providentally, following a fight over money b/w a middleman & a doctor, there is need to conduct a thourough investigation for once & rid the country of the shame of this outrage.
