Police have arrested three men in connection with a kidney smuggling
racket allegedly luring jobless people to hospitals in India to have
their kidneys removed and sold, a police official said Friday.
Two men in their 40s were arrested in Kathmandu and a 36-year-old was
arrested in the tourist town of Pokhara a week ago, said Sarbendra
Khanal, a senior superintendent of police in Kathmandu.
The three men scouted around the country looking for people seeking
jobs, brought them to Kathmandu, where their blood group was identified
to match with that of potential recipients, Khanal added.
A 19-year-old man from Gorkha district, west of Kathmandu, fell into
their trap in July.
