The Delhi Police has intensified its investigation into an illegal kidney transplant racket following the arrest of seven individuals, including three Bangladeshi nationals and a female doctor. The Crime Branch is now seeking documentation from Noida's health department, official sources disclosed on Tuesday.

In a bid to uncover more details, the Crime Branch has requested procedural documentation from Noida's health department and communicated with the district's chief medical officer's office. An officer confirmed that the investigation is delving deeper, suspecting the involvement of other medical professionals.

Details sought include the procedures private hospitals in Noida follow for organ transplants. Acting on a tip-off, the Crime Branch arrested seven suspects, including a 50-year-old woman doctor involved in transplant surgeries for around 15 people from Bangladesh between 2021 and 2023. The arrests were made over a two-week period, with more revelations anticipated as the probe continues.
