In connection with the international kidney racket allegedly operating from a hospital in Doiwala, the Special Investigation Team (SIT), formed to investigate the matter, has filed a petition in the court in Dehradun on Monday, seeking police remand of the kingpin Dr Amit Kumar.
Stating this, SIT in-charge SP rural Sarita Dobhal said on Monday that they would grill the doctor thoroughly after he is remanded to police custody to get more clues regarding the racket.
