Kumar does Kidney transplants
by: Sarah

Investigators are finally getting to the bottom of the kidney-transplanting organization over in India.  Dr. Amit Kumar is the alleged mastermind of the kidney-theft ring.  He has admitted to his involvement in about 300 transplants in the last 12-13 years.  Several other doctors have been accused of taking part in the scheme.

Kumar was quoted saying, “I have not duped anyone.  I have not done anything wrong.  You know that.”

Right now he is only being charged with violating the country’s Foreign Exchange Regulation Act, “which regulates the flow of international currency in the Asian nation.  Kumar was carrying approximately $256,000 in mixed currencies, including U.S. Dollars, Euros and a bank draft made out for Rupees at the time of his arrest.  Police are still trying to some how charge him for the kidney-theft, since he will only get up to four years of prison for the currency violation.
