A 17-year-old boy in Bhopal, India, went missing on August 6.

Police say he was lured with the promise of just Rs 100.

The people who took him allegedly planned to sell one of his organs.

They hoped to make Rs 2 crore from the sale.

After the boy died, the accused removed a body part.

They could not find a buyer for it.
