LAHORE, Pakistan -- Police arrested the owner of a private hospital in eastern Pakistan and three doctors after they were implicated in the illegal trade and transplant of kidneys, police said Saturday.

The arrests were made in overnight raids at two private hospitals in Lahore, said Tasaddaq Hussain, a police investigator. He said the doctors were being held for questioning.

The arrests came hours after police detained two men accused of enticing poor people to sell their kidneys for money.
