Kidneys are sold openly here, who is the mastermind, many cases remain unresolved, government maintains silence, ED-CBI investigation now…

New Delhi:- Even after 24 hours, the headlines about the debt-ridden Chandrapur farmer Roshan Sadashiv Kude, who got his kidney removed in Cambodia and sold it to the ‘greedy-money-grubbing’ moneylender, have not been able to give sleep to the people responsible for the Mahayuti government of the state. Delhi is quite far away, which is buzzing with the noise of the winter session of Parliament.

Till there, the groan of the farmer, who was suffering from the interest of Rs 10 thousand per day on the loan of one lakh rupees, has died down amidst the noise. No one knows when will the eyes of the state government, which is sleeping like Kumbhakarni, open due to the illegal kidney transplant scam going on in connivance with the doctors at Hiranandani Hospital in Powai in 2016?

In this illegal but money-rich kidney business, hundreds of people from Delhi, Haridwar-Dehradun, Surat, Chennai, Jaipur or even Amit from Akola in Maharashtra became part of the illegal kidney business. Due to proper investigation and loose rules and regulations, the real mastermind has not been caught yet.
Didn’t get freedom from illegal moneylenders
The government had enacted a law in 2014 to curb extortion by moneylenders but the harassment has still not stopped. Licensed moneylenders are also allowed to distribute personal loans. If the moneylender violates any provision of the Act the license may be cancelled. Not only this, a person who does money lending without a license can be punished with imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to Rs 50,000 or both.

Kidney manipulation also at the root of Pune Porsche scandal
Dr implicated in charges of changing blood sample of accused in Pune Porsche case. Ajay Taware’s name is also linked to the kidney transplant racket. This racket came to light when the police arrested Dr., Deputy Director of Health Services Board. A complaint was received from Sanjog Kadam regarding illegal financial transactions during the transplant process,

10 lakh Indians suffer from chronic kidney disease every year
82% of kidneys taken from Indians are given to Americans, Israelis, Canadians, British, Saudi Arabians and Gulf region residents.
1-2 lakh people need kidney replacement every year.
According to WHO, 3000 Indians sell their kidneys every year.
Ruby Hall case also in cold storage
Ruby Hall Clinic kidney scam came to light in April 2022 in Pune itself. Here the kidney fraud took place between August 2021 and March 29, 2022. Amit Salunkhe needed a kidney transplant. Through agents, Sujatha agreed to give her kidney in exchange for Rs 15 lakh. The incident came to light when a kidney transplant was conducted at Ruby Hospital but donor Sujatha did not receive the promised money.

strict rules and regulations
The largest legislation is the THOA (Transplantation of Human Organs Act), 1994, with amendments made in 1995, 2008, 2011 and 2014, besides the Transplantation of Human Organ Tissue Rules, 2014.

These include close relatives (parents, children, siblings) or spouse. A committee of the hospital examines all the documents. If necessary, DNA test is also done.

Emotionally attached donors, including friends, neighbors or distant relatives, require approval from a larger committee at the hospital, district or state level. This committee tests whether there is any money transaction or pressure.

How to reach Cambodia…
People involved in the illegal business of kidney transplant include everyone from doctors to brokers, while illegal moneylenders have also become their agents. The seriousness of the matter can be understood in the way that Roshan of Chandrapur, who does not know about Nagpur City Bus Stand, 150 km away, reaches Cambodia, 4,983 km away, to get his kidney removed.

Obviously, this web is very deep, in which indebted farmers, families struggling with money for various needs, people who have been lured from backward areas and countless victims of fraudulent kidney removal remain trapped.

Why no ED-CBI investigation?
Why couldn’t the central government order a thorough ED and CBI investigation despite transactions worth lakhs of rupees, footprints abroad, involvement of big doctors… this question will probably remain unanswered in the future.
