The chief minister said the gang lured patients from hospitals and performed the operations privately in the region of Taxila, the city of Lahore and in Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
Three deaths have so far been confirmed, according to the chief minister, but authorities were still confirming the data.
Fawad had previously been arrested five times but was released on each occasion and was able to resume his operations, Naqvi said.
Later, when he went to another doctor for further treatment, he was told he didn’t have a kidney, according to the chief minister.
But the practice has continued and local media have reported that illegal kidney transplants have made a comeback in recent years.
