Mohali, April 25

The police have booked Dr Surinder Pal Singh Bedi, who is the clinical director of Indus International Hospital, Dera Bassi, in the alleged kidney sale case registered on March 18.

Dr Bedi is the chairperson of the transplant authorisation board. The board had cleared 33 cases of organ transplant at the private hospital in the last two years.

Dr Bedi and the hospital management have denied any wrongdoing in the case.

In another development, sources said the anaesthesiologist had not reported for work at the hospital for more than a week. The police visited his house recently, but the family remained tight-lipped over his whereabouts.

Already a hospital coordinator, Abhishek, and a purported middleman, Raj Narayan, have been arrested in the case.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
