Teenager killed by gang who attempted to sell his testicles for £100,000

A 17-year-old Indian teenager, Rehan, has been murdered by a gang of four individuals who were allegedly led astray by a social media claim that human testicles could fetch millions on the black market. The suspects, including 20-year-old Zoheb Khan, reportedly lured Rehan to a secluded location on August 6, after which they allegedly killed him and removed his testicles, believing they could be sold for around £92,000.

The group was reportedly motivated by the false claim circulating online, and Khan, who posed as a doctor, allegedly guided them through the act. No buyer for the organs was found, and the body was recovered from a lake four days later. The investigation is ongoing.
