The Delhi Police Crime Branch has arrested seven individuals, including a doctor, in connection with an alleged international organ transplant racket. The Crime Branch said the racket was masterminded by a Bangladesh national. Police had been working on the case for two months, based on a tip-off.

Speaking to ANI, Crime Branch Deputy Commissioner of Police Amit Goel said, "Seven people have been arrested in connection with an international organ transplant racket. The mastermind of this racket was a Bangladeshi."
