They even suggested introducing gangrene to justify the amputation:
Three doctors are being investigated by Indian medical authorities for offering to amputate beggars’ healthy limbs so that they attract more money.They were secretly filmed by the news channel CNN-IBN apparently offering to remove a leg for £120 and were said to be colluding with the crime gangs that control begging in cities.
One doctor, from a government hospital in Delhi, offered to induce gangrene by restricting the flow of blood so that amputation became vital.
