Tamil Nadu Files Chargesheet in Three Illegal Kidney Sale Rackets

The Tamil Nadu government has filed the charge sheets in three criminal cases linked to the alleged illegal kidney sale racket in Namakkal district. According to a status report submitted by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) to the Madurai bench of Madras High Court, 12 individuals have been named as accused in connection with the case.

A division bench comprising Justice G. Jayachandran and Justice K. K. Ramakrishnan recorded the submission and subsequently closed the public interest litigation (PIL) that had brought the issue to light. The PIL was filed by S.N. Sathishwaran from Ramanathapuram district, who raised concerns over a noticeable increase in kidney transplant procedures across multiple hospitals in Tamil Nadu and flagged the potential for misuse in the absence of strict oversight.
