The foreigners allegedly paid 45-year old Amit Kumar for organ transplants from poor labourers duped by the so-called doctor who, according to authorities in Delhi, invested some of the millions he allegedly made from his crimes in Australia.
It has also been revealed that a money laundering case against Kumar, who was arrested in Nepal in 2008, is being delayed by the Australian federal police, who have yet to respond to a 16-month request from Indian authorities.
According to a charge sheet prepared by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Kumar received payment from foreign kidney recipients in foreign bank accounts which he used to buy properties.
