The surgeon, who has not been named, worked in the small town of Bogotol in the Krasnoyarsk region. He was hired by police to remove heroin capsules from the stomach of a drug dealer.

The police confiscated the capsules, but later found five grams of heroin concealed in the surgeon’s clothing. Police have released video of the surgeon wearing the jacket in which the heroin was found.
