'Kidney Man' Held
Febuary 09, 2008
Amit Kumar, the alleged mastermind of India's biggest kidney transplant racket, was on Thursday arrested from a jungle resort, 60 km from the Indo-Nepal border ending a long man-hunt for the doctor who is believed to have conducted over 500 illegal operations in a decade.
Kumar, 40, wanted by the police in Haryana and some other states, was nabbed from Hotel Wildlife Camp in Chitwan,160 km from here at 5 pm, hours after he checked in with an associate identified as Manish Singh.
The tainted doctor against whom an Interpol red corner notice was issued after the massive racket with inter-state and international ramifications came to light on January 24 was being brought to the Nepalese capital for interrogation.
