Rajanna first came to the attention of police in September 2003 when he called police to investigate alleged employee theft.
Detective William Howard of the Kansas City Police Department responded.
"I thought I had heard and seen every vile, disgusting crime scene, but was in for a new shock when I started this investigation," he would say later. Howard turned the matter over to the local district attorney and three state agencies.
Topping the list of horrors was an employee's account that she and others witnessed Rajanna "microwave one of the aborted fetuses and stir it into his lunch," as Howard recalled earlier this year when testifying before a Kansas House committee.
Rajanna denied the accusation. But he did keep fetuses in Styrofoam cups in the refrigerator along with food and drink.
"Dr. Rajanna lacked personal hygiene," testified Howard. "His hair was messy, hands dirty, and his clothing was wrinkled and stained. He put on old, used foot booties while we were there."
Howard testified the clinic was dark, dingy, had poor lighting and smelled musty. There were dirty dishes in the break-room sink and on the table, trash everywhere, and roaches crawling on the countertops. Howard was afraid to sit down.
Howard noted there were no hazardous waste containers anywhere. (An employee later testified Rajanna took home all contaminated, medical and biohazard waste for residential trash pick-up.)
As for the "procedure room," Howard's partner spotted dried blood on the floor and said the room looked "nasty."
Two dishwashers located next to the staff toilet served as sterilizers, according to employee testimony. Photographs show the toilet was bloody and functioned as a human waste disposal in the literal sense.

There was a similar story to this a couple of years ago about a Chinese abortionist but it turned out to be fake. I hope this one is too.

Lord, just when I started eating breakfast, too.
I have a feeling it's a hoax, too.

TOPEKA, KS, June 13 /Christian Wire Service/ -- The Kansas State Board of Healing Arts moved Saturday, June 11, to permanently revoke the medical license of Krishna Rajanna, the Kansas City abortionist accused of cannibalism in his filthy, rat- infested abortion mill. Rajanna's abortion clinic has been closed for the past three months.
Photographs obtained by pro-lifers revealed appalling conditions that included blood-soaked carpeting in procedure rooms and improperly sterilized surgical instruments, which were stored next to a blood- stained open toilet where aborted baby parts were allegedly flushed. Clinic employees told a Kansas City Police Detective that Rajanna had been seen mixing aborted baby parts into his lunch.
In February, the KSBHA fined Rajanna a mere $1,000 after considering the case for nearly two years. Pressure brought by pro-life groups, including Operation Rescue, during debate on a bill that would have required abortion mills be regulated spurred the KSBHA to suspend Rajanna's medical license in March. Rajanna's abortion mill closed soon after. The decision to revoke Rajanna's license came after the Board determined that Rajanna could not practice medicine unsupervised.
"This decision is a long time coming," said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. "But it is important to note that if public pressure had not been brought to bear, nothing would have happened to this man and his filthy abortion mill would still be in operation."

Abortion Doctor AP
A Kansas City, Kansas, abortion doctor whose case became the focus of a legislative debate over regulating abortion clinics has lost his license.
The State Board of Healing Arts voted today to revoke the license of Doctor Krishna Rajanna. A board inspector who made two surprise visits to the clinic in March says the place was filthy.
The inspector says he found syringes of medications kept in an unlocked refrigerator -- and he also found a dead mouse in the hall.
Rajanna says he hasn't had any complaints in his ten years of practice, and he thinks he should have had a chance to fix any deficiencies.
But the board says his clinic was a public health danger.
Rajanna can appeal the decision to district court.

Kansas panel pulls license from doctor
Published Sunday, June 12, 2005 TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) - More than two months after disciplinary action forced him to close his Kansas City, Kan., abortion clinic, Krishna Rajanna has lost his license.
The State Board of Healing Arts voted unanimously yesterday to revoke Rajannaââ¬â¢s license.
A board inspector made two surprise visits in March to Rajannaââ¬â¢s clinic, reporting that the facility was unclean and that Rajanna and his staff kept syringes of medications in an unlocked refrigerator. The inspector also reported finding a dead mouse in the hallway.
Rajanna argued that he had not been given an opportunity to meet with the inspector to correct the deficiencies. He also said in his 10 years of performing abortions in Kansas City, no patient has ever complained about his care.
But board members concluded that Rajannaââ¬â¢s clinic represented a danger and said that as a doctor he shouldnââ¬â¢t have needed the boardââ¬â¢s prodding to keep a clinic clean and safe.
Rajanna can appeal the decision to district court. His attorney, Robert Manske, said Rajanna will decide soon whether to challenge the boardââ¬â¢s action.
Manske told the board that revoking Rajannaââ¬â¢s license would hurt poor patients, saying Rajannaââ¬â¢s clinic operated in a low-income neighborhood and charged reasonable fees for services no one else would provide. Manske also said the problems cited by the inspector could be corrected.
"Itââ¬â¢s kind of like driving a tack with a sledge hammer in this case," he told the board. "There are no patients in here telling you he did bad things to them."
But board member Nancy Welsh, a Topeka-area doctor, said the board should not permit lesser standards of cleanliness and safety because a clinicââ¬â¢s patients are poor.
"Why do they deserve a dirty clinic?" she said.
**Board members also noted that Rajanna had been previously disciplined, in 2000 and 2001, for not properly testing his patients for their blood types and for improperly labeling medications. **

[/QUOTE] Good. Maybe the system was slow to act, but at least it acted. Good job to the folks who kept the pressure on. And good job to not turn him into a martyr by blowing up his clinic. (Though after reading that, a nice arson fire would probably have been a just act.)

I strongly second the opinion that I hope this is a hoax. However, if real, it demonstrates that abortion is less a medical procedure than a sacrament of a modern death cult. As Chesterton noted, one of the evils of the modern age is that it worships sex, but hates fertility.
