A man in Pattoki has alleged that his right kidney was removed after he was drugged by a friend who lured him with the promise of a business opportunity, police have said, prompting the registration of a criminal case.
According to police, the complainant, identified as Rehmat, alleged that his friend Raza invited him to discuss a business venture before giving him a juice that he believes had been mixed with an intoxicating substance. Rehmat told police that he lost consciousness shortly afterwards.
Police said Raza, accompanied by three alleged accomplices, then took the unconscious Rehmat from Pattoki towards Rawalpindi.
In his statement to police, Rehmat said he regained consciousness in severe pain and realised he had undergone surgery.
“When I regained consciousness, I was in severe pain and realised I had undergone surgery,” he told police.
Rehmat alleged that he later discovered his right kidney had been removed while he was unconscious. After returning to Pattoki, he underwent an ultrasound examination which, according to the complaint and medical reports, confirmed that his right kidney was missing.
According to police, Rehmat alleged that Raza had gained his trust by offering him a business opportunity before the alleged abduction.
Police have not disclosed where the alleged surgery took place or whether any arrests have been made. They also have not released further details about the accomplices or the suspected organ removal.
Rehmat has appealed to Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz and Inspector General of Police to ensure the swift arrest of those responsible and to bring them to justice.
