Three held for theft of kidney

The Thane police today arrested three persons for theft of a youth8217;s kidney from Bhiwandi and for transplanting it into another patient8217;s body.

A case has been registered against seven accused, including a doctor from south Mumbai8217;s Harkisondas Hospital, who had connived with the three and removed the kidney of Nashirali alias Mushkil Shabbir Rehman Feroz 27. The accused lured Nashirali by promising him a job in Saudi Arabia and took him to Delhi and Ranchi in Bihar for medical examination. They also took Rs 40,000 from him. When they returned to Mumbai, Nashirali was admitted to Harkisondas hospital for further check-ups. There, his right kidney was removed. He was also forced to sign on a declaration.
