Health and Family Welfare Minister Ambumani Ramadoss has sought a report from the Director General of Health Services on the alleged kidney racket involving doctors and staff of four prestigious hospitals here and in Noida.

"I have asked for a report from the Director General of Health Services and only after I get it would I be able to decide what action to take," he told reporters here when asked about the reports on a "kidney racket" in which at least nine people have been arrested so far.

The racket came to light last month after a man lodged a complaint with police here alleging that his kidney had been illegally removed from an Army Hospital.

During the investigations and interrogations of the accused, police found that the tentacles of the racket were spread across four hospitals. PTI
