Chhattisgarh Horror: Man Kills 4-Year-Old Nephew Over Organ Sale Plan

A shocking murder case has emerged from Chhattisgarh’s Jashpur district, where a 27-year-old man allegedly killed his four-year-old relative in an attempt to make quick money by selling human organs.

The accused, identified as Basudev alias Tangnu, was arrested on Sunday after the child’s mutilated body was discovered inside a sack in a water-filled pit near a maize field in Lodhenapath Mahua village.

According to police, the victim’s father, Ramjeet Ram, had filed a missing complaint at Sanna police station on November 7, stating that his son had been missing since November 5. The family had been living near the Aamatchua river dam after moving to the area for work around a year ago.

During the search, family members discovered the child’s body wrapped in blankets and stuffed inside a sack. Police subsequently launched an investigation and detained Basudev, who is a maternal cousin of the victim’s father.

During questioning, the accused allegedly revealed that financial difficulties and dissatisfaction with his daily wage earnings had pushed him to look for ways to make money quickly. Police said he frequently searched social media for easy earning opportunities before allegedly developing a plan to extract and sell children’s organs online.

Investigators said the accused lured the child on November 5, took him to different locations and allegedly gave him alcohol. After the boy fell asleep, he reportedly murdered him and removed his kidneys, lungs and eyes.

Police further stated that the accused concealed the body in a sack and disposed of it in a pit in the field, covering it with soil.

Acting on the accused’s disclosures, police recovered the suspected murder weapons, a plastic bucket containing the removed body parts and other evidence from the area.

Jashpur Senior Superintendent of Police Lal Umed Singh confirmed the arrest and said further investigation into the case is underway.
