(Daily Mail) – The Karnataka Police have busted a major kidney racket and 13 people have been arrested so far from different parts of the state. The arrests took place after five victims came forward complaining that they have been duped by middlemen, who promised them huge sums of money for donating their kidneys.  As part of the racket, the accused created fake documents to show that the donors and recipients of the kidneys were related and had given consent for the organ transplantation.
