Organ transplantation case: Jaipur police arrest two doctors of Fortis
Hindustan TimesJaipur: Rajasthan’s Jaipur police on Saturday arrested two doctors for their alleged involvement in the illegal organ transplantation case, a day after the arrest of a male nurse of the hospital’s nephrology department, said the official familiar with the matter. “It was found that Pratap, a native of Baran district, used to keep the donors and receivers in a rented accommodation near the hospital and was also in touch with the two doctors, the hospital’s organ transplant co-ordinators, and also some middlemen of the Med Safar Private Limited,” said an officer. “Gaurav has been issuing fake NOCs since 2021 by forging the signature of the members of the state-level authorisation committee of Jaipur’s Sawai Man Singh Hospital”, said additional commissioner of police Gandhinagar Gopal Dhaka, the investigating officer of the case. On April 14, five Bangladeshi nationals, including three receivers Muhammed Ahssanul, Nurul Islam, and Syed Akeeb Muhammed, and two donors Shamim Mehndi Hassan and Muhammed Azad Hussain were arrested by Gurugram police for getting the transplantation surgery at Jaipur’s Fortis Hospital based on such fake NOCs without having any blood relation.
