The extracted kidneys would then be sold to foreigners at high prices.’

**Interview with DSP Rashid Amin Butt on Lahore Police’s Raid of Illegal Kidney Transplant Center**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us, DSP Rashid Amin Butt. Can you give us an overview of the recent raid on the illegal kidney transplant center in DHA?
**DSP Butt:** Thank you for having me. Yes, the CIA police conducted a raid on a farmhouse in the DHA area based on a tip-off we received. We arrested several suspects involved in illegal kidney transplants, and during the operation, we discovered two foreign nationals from Saudi Arabia who were there for the procedure. They have since been shifted to Services Hospital for their safety.
**Interviewer:** That’s alarming. Can you tell us more about the suspects involved in this operation?
**DSP Butt:** Certainly. We managed to apprehend several individuals, including Muhammad Asif, Shahid Abbas, and others. However, we are currently searching for the main doctors involved, specifically Dr. Tariq Mehmood, Dr. Rashid, and their leader, Dr. Saqib. They have a history of being involved in such illegal activities.
**Interviewer:** What led to this raid, and how did you gather intelligence about the illegal operations?
**DSP Butt:** We were tipped off by an informant who alerted us to the activities of this gang operating in Lahore. We also received complaints from the public about suspicious medical practices, which initiated our investigation.
**Interviewer:** What was the method used by this group to conduct illegal kidney transplants?
**DSP Butt:** Their method was quite deceptive. Patients who visited their clinic, complaining of abdominal issues, were misdiagnosed and treated as if they needed appendectomies. They would keep these patients for recovery, but during surgery, their kidneys would be removed and sold to foreign clients at high prices.
**Interviewer:** What actions are being taken to prevent such incidents in the future?
**DSP Butt:** We are taking strict action against the accused, and an FIR has been registered against them under various legal provisions. Additionally, the Caretaker Provincial Health Minister has mandated that we apprehend the absconding suspects immediately. We are also working on revisions to the rules of the Punjab Human Organ Transplant Authority (PHOTA) to tighten regulations and prevent such illegal activities from recurring.
**Interviewer:** Thank you for your insights, DSP. We hope to see swift action in apprehending all those involved and protecting citizens from such exploitation.
**DSP Butt:** Thank you. We are committed to taking strong action to ensure public safety and to eradicate such illegal practices from our healthcare system.
