Nepal Doctor Implicated in Teen’s Egg Trafficking Case

A senior gynecologist in Nepal, Dr. Nutan Sharma, has been implicated in a case of egg trafficking involving a 17-year-old girl. The girl was allegedly lured into selling her eggs with promises of payment and was then taken to Dr. Sharma’s clinic, where the eggs were harvested.

The case came to light after the girl’s family filed a complaint with the police, alleging that Dr. Sharma had performed the egg harvesting procedure without their consent. The police have arrested a 21-year-old woman, Radhika Gotaame, who is accused of acting as a broker in the case.

Economic Transactions Uncovered

An investigation by the police has uncovered evidence of economic transactions between Dr. Sharma and Gotaame. A screenshot of a mobile banking transaction shows that Dr. Sharma had sent 50,000 rupees to Gotaame on December 21, 2025, and another 50,000 rupees the next day.

The police believe that Dr. Sharma had been paying Gotaame to bring her young girls who could be persuaded to sell their eggs. The girls were allegedly told that they would be paid 30,000 rupees for their eggs, but it is unclear how much of this amount they actually received.

Victim’s Account

The 17-year-old victim has given a statement to the police, alleging that she was lured into selling her eggs by a friend who promised her that it would be a simple and safe procedure. The friend allegedly told her that she would be paid 30,000 rupees for her eggs and that the procedure would not have any negative consequences for her health.

The victim has also alleged that Dr. Sharma performed the egg harvesting procedure on her without her consent. She claims that she was given an injection and then underwent the procedure at Dr. Sharma’s clinic.

Investigation Ongoing

The police are still investigating the case and have not yet arrested Dr. Sharma. However, they have said that they are working to gather evidence and will take action against anyone found to be involved in the case.

The case has highlighted concerns about the exploitation of young girls in Nepal’s egg donation industry. The government has introduced new regulations to govern the industry, including a ban on the sale of human eggs and a requirement that egg donors be at least 20 years old.
