MUMBAI: The Mumbai Police, which busted a kidney racket in the city in 2005, want to interrogate Amit Kumar aka Santosh Raut, alleged kingpin in a similar racket busted last month in Gurgaon, Haryana.

On Thursday, the Mahim police station moved an application before the Bandra metropolitan magistrate, requesting the court to issue arrest warrants for Kumar, his brother Jeevan Kumar, and assistant Rajesh Gupta. The trio is currently in the custody of the Central Bureau of Investigation in Delhi.

The application is likely to come up for hearing in the next few days.

In 2005, the Mahim police had registered a case in which two persons were reportedly duped and their kidneys removed. In the course of their investigation, the police found that Raut alias Kumar could be involved.

“But Raut had fled Mumbai a few days before the case was registered,” an officer who was part of the investigating team said.

A team of officers from Mumbai had gone to Gurgaon to look for Raut, but could not locate his clinic and returned empty handed.
