CID Arrests Another in Inter-State Organ Trafficking Case
Police have caught another person involved in a bad situation where people were tricked into giving up their kidneys.
This happened at a hospital in Hyderabad.
The person caught, named Murali Krishna, promised people jobs to get them to Hyderabad.
Then, he and his friends arranged for their kidneys to be taken and sold for money.
Krishna got a lot of money for each kidney, but the people who gave their kidneys got much less.
The police have arrested a total of seventeen people so far and are still investigating what happened.

Murali Krishna is linked to illegal kidney transplants at Alakananda Hospital.
Krishna allegedly lured individuals with false job offers to Hyderabad.
