Chhattisgarh Man Arrested for Killing Cousin's Son to Sell Organs OnlinePreviousNext

A 27-year-old man in Chhattisgarh was arrested for allegedly murdering his four-year-old cousin's son and removing his kidneys, lungs, and eyes to sell them online. The accused, Basudev alias Tangnu, reportedly developed the plan after browsing social media for quick money schemes. The child's body was found in a sack partially buried in a water-filled pit in Jashpur district. Police said the accused confessed, citing dissatisfaction with his daily wage earnings as motivation.
