NEW DELHI: After accumulating more than $120,000 in debt and “exhausting all options for help,” a 28-year-old Kashmiri man said he had no option but to try to sell his kidney.
Although he is aware that this is illegal in India and the part of the disputed territory ruled by New Delhi, Sabzar Ahmad Khan placed an advert in the Srinagar-based Kashmir Reader newspaper on Monday that read: “I want to sell my kidney because I have lost everything in business but I am still indebted to pay 90 lakh rupees. I request anyone in need of a kidney to contact me.”
