No mercy to them

Kudos to Kavre Police team for making public some kidney racketeers as reported in “Kidney racket busted in Kavre; 10 arrested” (THT, 15 May, Page 1). It was really a commendable job. Thank God, this time the victims who were lured into selling their kidneys in India made bold to knock at the police doors for help. Otherwise, the kidney racketeers would have continued their business as usual. All the culprits who commit such heinous crimes should be severely punished so that they cannot prey on innocent people in future.



This incidents clearly shows that the racketeers might have been involved in such crimes for long luring the poor people into selling their precious kidneys without knowing the consequences. However, it is not a new case that has occurred in Kavre. There were other such cases reported in the past also. But, it was not known whether the culprits were lawfully punished and the victims were properly compensated. Let us hope, this time around the culprits won’t be spared so that the other racketeers, if there are any, would be discouraged from such heinous crimes.



It is to be seen yet how the government will handle and address such a serious issue that needs to be addressed without delay to save the poor people of other villages of Kavre district and may be, poor people of other districts too. Unless the local administration becomes serious in monitoring the scene, the poor people continue to be cheated of their kidneys and money as well. I think, the local level youth clubs, NGOs and social activists need to be vigilant against this kind of heinous crimes and starting awareness campaign to alert the people.
