Police in Punjab province, Pakistan, have apprehended gang members involved in the illegal kidney trade, where they harvested and sold the kidneys of 328 individuals.
According to the interim Prime Minister of Punjab, Muhsin Naqvi, the gang leader has confessed to selling the kidneys of 328 people to wealthy individuals.
The investigation is ongoing, and the number of victims may increase. Kidney surgeries were conducted without the patients' knowledge in private residences.
