WorldMUMBAI,AFP -Indian police said Wednesday they have arrested the head of an upmarket hospital in Mumbai and four doctors on suspicion of organ trafficking. “We have arrested the chief executive of L H Hiranandani hospital, Sujit Chatterjee, and four doctors,” said Mumbai police spokesman Ashok Dudhe. It is not the first such case -- in June Indian police said they had uncovered an illegal organ donation racket run out of a top New Delhi hospital. Police reportedly stopped a kidney transplant procedure at the L H Hiranandani hospital after finding that documents showing the donor was married to the intended recipient were forged. They said the woman giving up her kidney was being paid, according to the Press Trust of India news agency.
