The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has dismissed allegations of launching a manhunt for Bellamkonda Ram Prasad, an Indian citizen, over links to organ harvesting syndicates in the country.

In a statement on Tuesday morning, the DCI flagged a viral social media post claiming that they were pursuing Ram Prasad for potential arrest and charges related to allegedly orchestrating the deaths of young Kenyans.

The flagged post suggested that detectives had urged members of the public with information that could lead to the arrest of the individual in question to report to the police.

According to the misleading post, Bellamkonda Ram Prasad, alias "Pratapan," was allegedly the mastermind behind an international human trafficking network involved in organ harvesting.
