Clients allegedly had to pay Rs 27 lakh for each kidney; the hospital kept almost half the money and the rest went to agents as commissions, and funds for tests, travel and accommodation. All three were young donors.Hafeez’s family was unable to understand how the youngster, despite quitting his job, was able to afford a auto. These include four from Nalgonda district, four from Hyderabad, four from Bangalore, two from Tamil Nadu and one each from Delhi and Mumbai.
