Trading in organs illegally in Kerala, with forged documents

Around six months ago, a shabbily dressed middle-aged man walked into the office of the Superintendent of Police (Ernakulam Rural), Aluva, on a sultry afternoon with an envelope held tight in his hand. The man, who appeared to be in a hurry, was at the police station to obtain a police clearance certificate for an organ donation. He wanted the police clearance to donate one of his kidneys to a patient, totally unrelated to him. When the inquisitive police officer, who was handling the applications, threw a few casual questions at the applicant, he didn’t have any inkling about what was in store. “How did you meet the prospective recipient?” asked the officer. The man nonchalantly muttered that he met the patient, who was weeping inconsolably, in the corridor of a private hospital in the city. He stated that he was moved by the suffering of the patient and made the decision to part with one of his kidneys to save the patient’s life. The officer didn’t believe a word of it, but he gave …
