A 17-year-old boy, known as Rehan, has been fatally stabbed in India after being recruited by a gang lured by a fraudulent social media post claiming that human testicles could be sold for millions on the black market. The incident occurred on August 6 in Bhopal, where the teenager was reportedly stabbed to death and his testicles removed, according to police.
The suspects, motivated by the false claim, believed the organs could be sold for around £92,000. Police arrested 20-year-old Zoheb Khan, the alleged mastermind, and 18-year-old Aamir Qureshi, along with three minors. It is alleged that Khan posed as a doctor, using online-purchased medical equipment, to convince the others of the organs' value.
Rehan, a street vendor, was approached by two youths at his stall and allegedly offered 100 rupees to participate in a planned fight, which led him to the secluded location where the murder took place. The gang reportedly failed to find a buyer for the organs and disposed of them in separate lakes. Rehan's body was discovered in Lower Lake on August 10, four days after he went missing.
The investigation is ongoing, with authorities working to uncover the full details of the teenager's death and the involvement of each suspect.
