Bhopal teen lured with Rs 100, killed in suspected organ-trafficking plot
A 17-year-old boy was allegedly lured to his death with the promise of Rs 100, according to Madhya Pradesh Police. The incident, which took place in Bhopal, saw five people, including three juveniles, arrested in connection with the murder. The alleged mastermind, posing as a doctor, befriended minors and met them in a plan to make Rs 2 crore by selling an organ.
After luring the teenager with Rs 100, the group was seen traveling through various areas before reaching Dhobighat, where the murder allegedly took place. The body part was removed but later discarded in a lake after the accused were unable to find a buyer, police said. Authorities are investigating if this killing is part of a larger human organ-trafficking network and are examining call records and other evidence to establish the sequence of events.
