Overview

• A 45-year-old Dahisar resident sought ₹1 crore for his kidney and paid ₹2.95 lakh in upfront processing fees to fraudsters posing as a Delhi hospital
• He borrowed from online loan apps and acquaintances and transferred the fees in instalments to multiple bank accounts provided by the scammers
• Once the payments cleared, the fraudsters cut off contact and never arranged the promised surgery
• Loan sharks then harassed him and his relatives with threats and obscene messages over the borrowed sums
• Dahisar police filed a cybercrime FIR in mid-July and are now tracing bank transfers and phone records while reminding the public that organ trading is illegal
