LAHORE: Caretaker Punjab Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi has revealed the arrest of an eight-member gang including its leader — a doctor — involved in illegal organ transplants in the province.
Addressing a press conference in the CM’s House in Lahore on Sunday, Naqvi said that the doctor, who also has a history of prior arrest, was leading the gang involved in the illicit activity.
The caretaker provincial chief executive revealed that the gang used to charge between Rs2.8 million to Rs10m for a kidney transplant and the person who used to assist in the surgery was in fact a “motor mechanic”.
Most of the illegal illegal organ transplants used to be carried out in Azad Kashmir, and the group was also active in Taxila Naqvi said.
The police worked day and night to apprehend the gang, he added while lauding their performance.
