One of the three senior doctors, currently in the U.S., was to return on Thursday but did not. A personal assistant of another senior doctor too was detained by police on Friday and the nephrologist’s role is under scanner now. Two of his personal assistants were the first to be arrested in connection with the racket. Ten persons, including two personal assistants of a nephrologist, several middlemen and donors, besides the kingpin have been arrested in connection with the racket so far. Three nephrologists at the Indraprashtha Apollo Hospitals in New Delhi are likely to be questioned by the Delhi Police in connection with the transplant surgeries performed under their supervision which were facilitated by the kidney racket in which 10 persons have been arrested so far.
