RAWALPINDI, Aug 07 (APP):The Rawat Police on Thursday unearthed a gang involved in illegal organ transplantation arresting its one member.
According to the Rawalpindi Police spokesman, a Rawat Police team during its routine patrolling received information about the illegal organ transplantation site.
The police immediately raided the place and got released a man tied to a stretcher. The victim later told the police that he was called to the place on the pretext of a job and then his various medical tests were conducted after administrating some anaesthetic drug.
