| The probe has widened into the Rs 100 crore kidney transplant racket in Gurgaon near Delhi, even as the alleged mastermind, Dr Amit Kumar, remains free.
The Gurgaon police on Monday admitted that he may have fled to Nepal.
The police have notified Interpol and asked for a red corner notice against Amit Kumar for carrying out more than 500 illegal kidney transplants in the past 14 years. A red corner notice means that most countries will be looking out for him.
And three more doctors are being investigated in the kidney racket. Also 20 nurses believed to be working in the Gurgaon clinic are being questioned. In all 10 hospitals and labs are under investigation.
The police have identified six more properties belonging to Dr Kumar in suburban Gurgaon and recovered some cars, while 10 teams have been raiding his properties across the country.
''We have recovered around eight cars that were used to ferry patients from Shashant Lok Hospital and Palam Vihar hospital. We have also learnt about eight banks that were operated them,'' said Mohinder Lal, Gurgaon Police Commissioner.
''We have asked for all accounts to be frozen and have sought a Red Corner notice for Dr Amit Kumar and Dr Jeevan. We have also learnt of two more hospitals. One is in Noida and raids are currently underway in the other hospital,'' he added.
One of south Delhi's well-known hospitals has been also named in the case. The Moradabad police claim that all the pathology reports involved in this racket were made from Batra hospital under fake names and addresses. But the hospital says it cannot be held responsible.
Meanwhile, two NRIs and two Greek nationals are being questioned.
