During the initial probe, cops found a businessman living in posh locality of Ghaziabad along with recipients at Jaipur and Hyderbad who were in touch with the gang. Police will take legal action against them if they are found violating the rule under section 19 (Punishment for commercial dealings in human organs) the Transplant of Human Organ Act (THOA).

Cops claim that soon two donors can be detained who are in the city and are under the police radar. They were brought to Delhi by the gang to donate their kidneys. On Friday, Delhi Police busted a kidney racket gang operating at the Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, which used to deal with the transplantation of the organ. Commercial trade in organs is illegal in India and transplant donations to non-relatives must be approved by a special committee.

The AAP government has set up a five-member panel to investigate whether there were procedural lapses on the part of the hospital. The probe team will submit its report within 15 days.
