New Delhi: Delhi Police on Sunday intensified its search for the kingpin of the kidney trading racket, even as they served notices to Apollo Hospital authorities here asking them to join probe and provide documents related to kidney transplants in the past few months.

Five separate teams are conducting raids at Kolkata, Chennai and Hyderabad for the kingpin Rajukumar Rao, who is believed to be in the business for the past few years and connected to similar rackets in Nepal, Sri Lanka and Indonesia, a senior official said.

Investigators have also identified at least three recipients and five donors having links with the racket and are considering further legal action.
