: Pakistani authorities have busted a gang involved in the illegal trade in human kidneys and transplants, amid a gradual rise in transplant tourism in the country, reported dpa news agency.
Naqvi said that those involved had been harvesting kidneys, offering people money, and sometimes without telling the victims after tricking them by offering free treatment for other ailments.Last month, police in the eastern city of Lahore busted another kidney transplant racket and rescued two foreigners undergoing a transplant procedure at a private farmhouse.
Pakistan was once a top destination for foreigners coming for organ transplants until the practice was criminalized in 2010 with a punishment of up to 10 years in jail and a fine.
