In another twist in the kidney racket at Hiranandani Hospital, an inquiry by Directorate of Health Services (DHS) has revealed that the interviews of the donor and recipient were taken on a mobile phone of one of the panelists, as the hospital didn’t have a recorder. Following this, the Health Ministry has asked DHS to submit a report on the infrastructure of all the registered hospitals in the city that have permission for organ transplants.

An inquiry conducted by a panel of three members from DHS found that the interviews of the donor and recipient were recorded on a mobile phone though it is compulsory to record them on a recorder under the Transplantation of Human Organs Act, 1994 (TOHA).
