A day after the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) arrested two medical social workers of JJ hospital for their alleged involvement in a kidney racket, the authorities said the duo would be suspended if they were in custody for 48 hours.

However, the dean has clarified that the hospital had no connection with the Zonal Transplant Authorisation Committee (ZTAC), which gives the go-ahead for all transplantations, and has also asked the Director of Medical Education and Research (DMER) to conduct an enquiry at their level.
