The arrested middlemen in the alleged kidney racket used to find out about potential recipients through chemist shops in hospitals and diagnostic centres, police said today. The Delhi Police had arrested four persons, including a woman, for their alleged involvement in the illegal sale and purchase of kidneys. The racket was busted after an MBA student, along with a news channel reporter, contacted the Crime Branch officials in April. The doctors, who were part of the panel, that had conducted the screening of the donor, are also being questioned. After finding out that they are looking for donors, they would put them in touch with the middlemen who would gauge their financial strength and then make them meet potential donors.
