Click to play videoNew Delhi: In a latest development in the Gurgaon Kidney racket case, the Haryana police on Sunday said the alleged mastermind behind the racket, Dr Amit Kumar, may have fled the country.
Gurgaon Police Commissioner Mohinder Lal says Kumar may have used his foreign contacts to escape.
Police have also circulated photographs of Kumar and his accomplices, and airports across the country have been alerted.
According to police sources, Kumar used six luxury cars including a Mercedez Benz, and two fake names for executing the racket.
Haryana Police have raided two more houses of Dr Kumar in Sector- 56 & sector-17, Gurgaon
They have also raided a guest house in Gurgaon used by the doctor as a hospital and seized more incriminating documents. Another shady hospital in Ballabhgarh was also raided.
"We are not ruling out the possibility that he may have escaped abroad by using his contacts. However, he will not be able to escape the legal channels," Lal said.
He said the police was coordinating with various agencies to catch Kumar.
"We are not going to let him have an easy run for long. A man accused of being involved in 500 illegal transplants will not be allowed to go scotfree and we will track him down soon," he said.
Five foreign tourists, who had allegedly come for kidney transplants were found in Amit Kumar's "luxury guest house" on Saturday.
He owns two hospitals in Gurgaon under the banner of Liberty Health Care Pvt Ltd, located about five km apart, both of which were raided On Sunday.
The Police Commissioner said police are preparing a database about the previous record of Dr Amit Kumar that will throw light about his alleged illegal activities.
Asked about Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda's reported remarks in which he admitted that the police failed to uncover the scam, Lal said the Chief Minister's comments have been "misunderstood".
"The Chief Minister never meant to put the blame on the police force. In fact, what he meant was that it was the collective responsibility of all of us--the society as a whole which includes the police, media and other people," Lal said.
Police last night seized documents and equipment from a hospital in Gurgaon and sealing another in Ballabhgarh as part of its probe into the kidney racket.
