Three days after the Delhi Police busted a kidney racket at Indraprastha Apollo Hospital and arrested five people, the Delhi Government on Monday constituted a five-member probe panel and asked it to submit its report within 15 days.
Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain said, “The probe panel, headed by Dr DK Tampe, dean of Maulana Azad Medical College, will investigate whether laid down protocols were followed by the hospital. It will re-examine the documentation and interview process by the authorisation committee of the hospital concerned.”
“The committee is directed to submit an interim report regarding the five cases of organ sale detected so far within one week and a detailed report within a fortnight,” said an order issued by the Health and Family Welfare Department.
