Five more FIRs have been registered in Hyderabad against Sadguru Healthcare Services Pvt Ltd, Oasis Fertility Clinics and several individuals over alleged trafficking of women and illegal procurement of oocytes, widening an investigation into an egg donation racket involving at least 66 donors, police and health officials said.
The cases were registered on Thursday by Jubilee Hills, Film Nagar, Miyapur, Mahankali and Malakpet police following separate complaints from Hyderabad district medical and health officer Putla Srinivas and Ranga Reddy district medical and health officer Kalyan Chakravarthy. The complaints named Sadguru Healthcare Services, its director Gedela Durga Rao, who is also managing director of Oasis ART bank and clinics, and donor facilitators Amit Sharma, Nikhat Parveen, Deepika and others.
According to the report, Sadguru Healthcare Services operates 46 fertility clinics across 10 states under the Oasis Fertility brand. The health officials alleged that the company’s assisted reproductive technology bank had procured oocytes from 66 women brought to Hyderabad by facilitators from different parts of the country since January, in violation of statutory provisions.
The FIRs include provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita relating to acts endangering life or personal safety, human trafficking, negligent acts likely to spread infection, cheating, criminal conspiracy and organised crime. They also include provisions of the Assisted Reproductive Technology Act. Police said Amit Sharma and Nikhat Parveen had already been arrested by Malkajgiri police, while teams were searching for Durga Rao and Deepika, who were described as absconding by a Jubilee Hills police official.
The investigation began after a joint inspection by Malkajgiri police and health officials at a women’s hostel in Begumpet on October 30. The inspection found 12 women from West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh. The women had allegedly been brought to Hyderabad with offers of about Rs 50,000 for each donation cycle, according to the complaints.
The complainants further alleged that the women were administered hormonal injections without medical supervision and that used vials were discarded without following biomedical-waste procedures. Health officials said some of the women were in Hyderabad as donors for the accused company. The allegations have not been tested in court.
Records examined during an inspection of Sadguru’s ART bank at Madinaguda allegedly showed agreements with nine facilitators from Telangana, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and West Bengal. Under one agreement, a facilitator could receive up to Rs 65,000 per donor, with the payment reduced if fewer than seven oocytes were retrieved or if the oocytes were considered poor quality. The complainants alleged that no payment was made if stimulation was cancelled before the sixth day.
The ART bank’s records reportedly showed that 66 donors underwent procedures between January and October 2026, but only 47 donor records were furnished to inspecting officers. Records of the remaining 19 donors were not produced, the health officials alleged. They also said the bank failed to provide correct reports relating to donor oocytes. Registration records connected to clinics in Gachibowli and Uppal were still to be verified.
Malkajgiri police have already arrested eight accused in three earlier cases linked to the investigation and identified 31 donors. The latest FIRs place the focus on the role of fertility clinics, ART banks and intermediary networks in recruiting women from other states, transporting them to Hyderabad and arranging medical procedures. Further investigation by the police and health authorities is continuing.
