A kidney transplant racket, involving an Indian "doctor"u00a0 known as "Dr Horror", who ran illegal clinics in India and sold kidneys to hundreds of wealthy clients from Australia, Greece, UK, Turkey,u00a0 US and Saudi Arabia, has come to light in Australia

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.
