Police Seek More Time to Question Doctor in Kidney Transplant Case
Imagine a doctor, Dr. Taware, who was in charge of approving kidney transplants.
Police think he did something wrong when he approved 10 different transplant operations.
They believe he may have used fake documents to make it happen.
The police are now questioning him, but he hasn't been very helpful.
Because the police need more time to figure things out, a judge has decided to keep Dr. Taware in custody so they can keep asking questions.
The police are looking at bank accounts and other records to find out exactly what happened and if anyone else was involved.
The police also want to know why some details, like the ages of the donors and their movements, didn't make sense when the doctor approved the transplants.
Police are seeking more time to question Dr. Ajay Taware regarding 10 kidney swap transplants.
Taware was heading the regional authorization committee that cleared the transplants in 2022.
Police have secured documents, video evidence, and bank details related to the cases.
Taware has not cooperated with the police investigation.
The court has extended Taware's police custody.
