Police have arrested ten persons for their alleged involvement in luring people to sell kidneys for money. During the interrogation the gang accepted of also luring 16-years-old Pooja Rai of Chitwan to sell her kidney, adding that they successfully rescued the girl.
Police in Nepal found that people sell their kidneys for money. It is believed that the network of kidney smugglers is huge in Nepal. The villagers are usually taken to India by giving hopes that they could find good jobs. Some do it believing the words of agents while others do it simply for money. It clearly illustrates the fact that even the Nepali hospitals and its doctors are some how associated with kidneys smugglers. The small amount of money they have got from selling their kidneys might be sufficient to pay some loans and run their household for sometime, but the psychological torture and physical pain they have received is likely to remain for a long period.
