Rohit Tiwari, a 34-year-old from Hardoi, India, was arrested for allegedly orchestrating a kidney transplant racket in Kanpur. Posing as a medical professional, Tiwari coordinated with syndicate members, hospitals, and donors, facilitating over 30 illegal transplant procedures since 2018. He was found to have a bounty of ₹25,000 on his head. Police revealed that Tiwari oversaw the entire operation, deciding where surgeries would take place and which hospitals to use. His main associate, ambulance operator Shivam Agarwal, played a crucial role in local operations. The racket was exposed after police conducted raids based on tips about illegal transplant activities, leading to the arrest of six individuals, including five doctors. Investigations indicated that kidneys were obtained from economically distressed donors for ₹5-6 lakh and sold to recipients for between ₹60 lakh and ₹1 crore. Police are currently tracing additional members of the network and have identified nearly a dozen hospitals across four districts that may be linked to the activities.
