The Punjab and Haryana high court on Tuesday dismissed anticipatory bail plea of Jalandhar doctor Rajesh Aggarwal, accused in the kidney racket case.

Aggarwal, who is the owner of National Kidney Hospital, Jalandhar, had argued in the petition last year that police had no jurisdiction to either investigate or arrest any person for alleged commission of offences under the Transplantation of Human Organs (TOHO) Act, 1994. The Jalandhar police had registered a case under the TOHO Act, 1994, and various other sections of the IPC on July 30, 2015.
