BENGALURU/HYDERABAD (Reuters) - (This Dec. 5 story has been corrected to clarify that the Telegraph report said that Apollo was embroiled in a 'cash for kidneys' racket and to remove reference to Apollo Hospitals Group enticing young villagers from Myanmar to sell their kidneys to rich patients around the world in paragraph 2)

India's Indraprastha Medical Corp, which manages two Apollo hospitals in the national capital of Delhi, said on Tuesday allegations regarding its involvement in illegal kidney transplants are false.
