Doctor Denied Bail in India Kidney Trafficking Ring
8 Jan
Summary
- Chandrapur court rejected bail for Dr. Ravinder Pal Singh.
- Evidence links four accused to interstate and international organ trafficking.
- Three patient deaths linked to illegal kidney extraction procedures.

A sessions court in Chandrapur has denied anticipatory bail to Dr. Ravinder Pal Singh, a doctor from Delhi allegedly involved in a widespread kidney trafficking network. This ruling revokes the interim protection from arrest previously granted to Dr. Singh, enabling the Chandrapur police to take him into custody. Police sources indicate that Dr. Singh might seek relief from the high court.
Investigators have amassed substantial technical and forensic evidence pointing towards an organized interstate and international organ trafficking ring. Critical data, including call detail records and chat logs from four key accused—Dr. Singh, Ramkrishna Sunchu, Himanshu Bhardwaj, and Dr. Rajaratnam Govindaswamy—have been secured. Mobile location data places these individuals at Star KIMS Hospital in Trichy, owned by Dr. Govindaswamy, during alleged illegal kidney transplant operations.
