The Powai police, investigating the kidney transplant racket, are checking the claims of alleged whistleblower Sundar Singh, who is said to have helped expose the racket after agents persuaded him to sell his kidney in March. He confirmed that Singh had helped Tanna expose the racket but didn’t approach the police directly. It was he who tipped off Mahesh Tanna about an illegal kidney transplant on July 14 that the police managed to halt, and which helped expose the wider racket. If we find he claims are true, we will register new first-information reports (FIR).” Deshmukh said a separate FIR will be registered for each case. Singh said he helped Bisen forge documents for four illegal transplants, including his own, which took place on March 16 and 17.
