Organ sale ring busted

-

PAKISTANI investigat­ors have uncovered an illegal kidney donation racket and arrested six people, including two doctors, after raiding a house where unauthoris­ed surgeries were under way.

Authoritie­s say the gang sold kidneys to internatio­nal clients, particular­ly from wealthy Gulf nations. Four people were caught red-handed illegally transplant­ing kidneys to two Oman nationals, police said. The two Omanis, who have also been taken into custody, had paid $70,000 each for a kidney, he said.
