Kidney scam: Court grants bail to kingpin in laundering case

Amit, who was lodged at Ambala Jail, is now out as he has already been granted bail in other criminal cases pending against him.

The court is at present recording prosecution evidence in the case registered against Amit by Enforcement Directorate for allegedly violating foreign exchange laws and stashing black money abroad.

The multi-crore rupee scandal had surfaced in January 2008 when police had arrested several people for running a kidney transplant racket in Gurgaon.

Amit was arrested in Nepal in February 2008.
