Kochi Commissioner rules out allegations of organ mafia

The Kochi Police on Tuesday said that there is no organ mafia behind the murder in the killing of two women for human sacrifice rituals.

Kochi City Police Commissioner CH Nagaraju said, “Allegations of organ mafia behind the murder are unfounded. Organ transplantation is not possible in unsanitary conditions. If you think in common sense, it will not work. It is suspected that the main accused, Muhammed Shafi, has misled the co-accused in this regard.”  He further said that there is crucial scientific and technical evidence against the accused.

“There is no indication that there are more victims. Missing cases are being investigated. So far no evidence has been found about the link between missing cases and human sacrifice cases. Several phones have been seized from the accused. Muhammed Shafi, who is the main accused mutilated the bodies. It is done in the butcher’s style. Evidence collection will continue,” Kochi Commissioner said.

Meanwhile, Kochi DCP S Sasidharan said that the investigation is in process and there is a lot of scientific evidence against the accused.

“There is no evidence that the main accused, Muhammed Shafi, victimised more people regarding human sacrifice rituals. 

The investigation is in progress. There is a lot of scientific evidence against the accused. An investigation is underway into the statements that the victim woman, Padma’s, phone was destroyed. DNA samples of victim Padma’s relatives were collected. This is for the conclusive evidence,” DCP said.
