Punjab Caretaker Chief Minister (CM) Mohsin Naqvi on Sunday said Lahore Police have arrested a gang, including its leader, which is involved in illegal kidney transplantation.

Addressing a press conference, the caretaker chief minister was quoted as saying by ARY News that the police team which arrested the gang would be awarded Rs500,000.

He further informed that Doctor Fawad Mukhtar and all persons of his gang have been apprehended.

The CM claimed that Fawad Mukhtar by unlawfully stealing, duping and grabbing money extracted 328 people’s kidneys and performed transplant.

The CM said the assistant of Dr Fawad gang doing operations was basically a motor mechanic and the same motor mechanic used to perform duties of administering anaesthesia to the people.

He further said the gang was more active in Lahore, Taxila and Azad Kashmir and used to perform kidney transplantation at homes instead of operation theaters.

“They [the gang] used to extort Rs3 million from Pakistani patients while Rs10 million from the patients coming from abroad,” he was quoted as saying by ARY News.
