Kochi city police have apprehended Maya M, a 48-year-old woman from Kottayam, for her alleged involvement in an organ trade scheme. The arrest was made following a case registered by Ambalamedu police.

Maya M's arrest marks the seventh arrest in this ongoing investigation. Police are actively probing the extent of the arrested individuals' connections to organized organ trafficking syndicates operating both within and outside Kerala.
