Farmer's Plea Unmasks Global Organ Racket

A startling international kidney transplant racket, spanning multiple Indian states and reaching Cambodia, has been uncovered by Chandrapur Police. The investigation was triggered by a viral video from a marginal farmer detailing an escalating debt to an illegal moneylender after selling a kidney.

Authorities have arrested eight people so far, including agents and moneylenders, who allegedly lured impoverished individuals to sell their kidneys. Victims reportedly received only a fraction of the large sums charged for transplants, with some being taken to Cambodia for organ harvesting.

The racket involves two prime doctor accused, one from Delhi and another from Tamil Nadu, with one absconding and the other on bail. Police analysis of mobile data reveals extensive international connections and a pan-India network involving agents, donors, doctors, and hospitals.
