Massive Organ Trafficking Ring in Pakistan: Hundreds of Kidneys Surgically Removed and Sold

Police in Pakistan have arrested eight individuals for their involvement in an illegal organ harvesting ring, where kidneys were surgically removed from hundreds of patients and sold to wealthy clients in need of transplants. The alleged gang leader, known as "Dr Fawad," conducted 328 operations, with each kidney fetching up to $34,000. The gang operated in various regions, including Taxila, Lahore, and Pakistan-administered Kashmir, where there are no laws regarding kidney transplants. Three deaths have been confirmed so far, and investigations are ongoing. The chief minister is working to strengthen cyber laws to prevent online advertisements for illegal kidney transplants.
