Other donors
Kumar is a member of the gang that works for Prajapati. He used to arrange customers who needed kidneys and would also make arrangements for the donor’s travel and stay. According to police sources, apart from Pasupula, two more people have recently given their kidneys. One of them is named Babu Sandeep while the other is Kadiyan Daiva Kumar.

He was also set to fly to Egypt to sell his kidney, but didn’t get the visa and was waiting for it. On the day he was arrested, Nizamuddin had dropped one Abdul Badshah on a flight to Egypt. But after the racket was revealed, Badshah’s operation was cancelled and he landed at Delhi airport on September 9. Cops will soon record his statement.
