Bhopal cops hunt for private parts of boy killed by 'testicle traffickers'
Police divers will search Bhopal's lakes for testicles removed by a gang. A 20-year-old student allegedly led the group after seeing a social media hoax. They failed to find a buyer for the organs and then disposed of them. The victim was a 16-year-old boy murdered for a supposed sale. Investigators are now trying to recover crucial evidence from the murky waters.
BHOPAL: Police are on the hunt for the testicles of a 16-year-old boy, who was brutally murdered by a gang of five. This grisly crime was inspired by a social media hoax claiming that human testicles could fetch crores in Gulf countries, particularly among buyers in the Gulf. The victim, a 20-year-old BBA student named Zoheb, assembled the gang and killed the teenager in Bhopal.
The gang kept the body parts frozen on a terrace for two days while searching for a buyer. After failing to find one, Zoheb allegedly instructed his associates to dispose of the organs in separate water bodies to make recovery difficult. Police are preparing to deploy divers to search the Upper and Lower Lakes for the missing testicles.
The suspects have been taken into custody and have confessed to using a stethoscope and thermometer, posing as a doctor, during the crime. Police have seized the items and are questioning local people who were approached by the gang to sell the organs. Recovery of the organs could provide crucial evidence to reconstruct the crime and verify the suspects' account.
