Man Arrested in Kolkata for Attempting to Sell Wife's Kidney
A man in Kolkata was arrested because he tried to sell his wife's kidney.
He apparently told his wife she was very sick and needed treatment, but his real plan was to sell her kidney to someone else for a lot of money.
When his wife told her family about this plan, they told the police.
The police then arrested the man and three other people who were involved in this scheme.
The plan was stopped before the surgery could happen at a hospital in the city.
A man named Kartik Chakraborty has been arrested in Kolkata for allegedly trying to sell his wife's kidney.
He reportedly told his wife she was sick and needed medical treatment, when in fact he planned to sell her kidney for Rs 11 lakh.
The plan was discovered when the wife confided in relatives while preparations for the transplant were underway at a private hospital.
Police have arrested Chakraborty and three other individuals in connection with the alleged crime.
