Police in India have arrested multiple individuals in connection with an alleged organ donation forgery scheme. Rashida, 37, was arrested by the Kunnathunadu police, while her husband Najeeb remains absconding. Earlier arrests included Sunny Varghese, 56, his wife Sini Varghese, 50, and Sanoj, 32, by the Ernakulam Rural police, as well as Sreeja, Sudheer, and Vinod by the Kilikollur police in Kollam district.
The accused allegedly forged documents, including letterheads of major hospitals and blank letterheads in the name of a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) and a Member of Parliament (MP), to facilitate illegal organ donations.
The arrests were made after the Kunnathunadu police registered two cases relating to the offence.
The court has remanded the arrested individuals, with the next steps in the case expected to unfold in the coming days. The police will likely continue their investigation, and the court will proceed with the trial of the accused.
