JAIPUR: A day after it came to light that doctors in Karauli's Hindaun town were forcing children from nearby villages to donate blood, police said over 30 minors had been exploited. The children, all aged 14 or below, were lured with kachouri and fruit juice and brought to two hospitals, Rajgirish Nursing Home and Tirupati Hospital, where blood was taken from them.

The cleaners of these two hospitals used to drop the children back home and kept tabs on them for a few days lest the children complained about it to their family members. The police suspect that each unit of blood taken from these children was sold for at least Rs 5,000 to some private hospitals in UP and MP.

Police are also not ruling out the involvement of an inter-state gang — however the cops could not confiscate records as they had been destroyed.

Five people have been arrested in this connection so far. They include the owner of Rajgirish Nursing Home, Dr Girish Agarwal, and its surgeon Dr H N Singh. Also in the net are Sultan, a compounder, Suraj, a cleaner, and a tout, Rakesh Koli, who used to kidnap children and bring them to the hospital .

Five others, including three doctors and two lab technicians, are absconding. The local people — who called the accused "blood-suckers" — tried to get at the five when they were produced in court on Monday and police had to throw a tight ring of security around them. The court sent the five to two days in police remand.

The tout, Rakesh Koli (20), has allegedly confessed that he himself had given blood at least 10 times and took many children to these two hospitals. The doctors used to kidnap children by luring them with kachouri and fruit juice.

"They had deputed some touts in the nearby villages who used to kidnap the children. They were paid Rs 400 for each unit of blood. The blood units were then sold to patients during emergency in these two hospitals and others in UP and MP for at least Rs 5,000 per unit," said a police officer.

"The two hospitals have blood storage facility, but they can't take blood directly from people. Records in the state’s blood banks show that the two hospitals did not take any blood from them this year," said Ghulam Nabi, in charge of Hindaun police station. He said 30 victims had come forward so far to record their statements.
