A 45-year-old Dahisar resident was duped of Rs 2.95 lakh by cyber fraudsters, who had promised to give him Rs 1 crore in return for a kidney. According to police sources, the victim,   Prashant Nigvekar, who works as a peon at a private company in Andheri, lives with his wife, son, mother, and brother. Struggling under mounting debt and extreme financial hardship, he had already sold several household items before deciding to part with a kidney.

While searching online for buyers, Nigvekar came across a listing claiming that a hospital in Delhi was looking to buy kidneys. 

He called the number listed and told the person on the line about his financial crisis and his willingness to sell a kidney. The caller offered Rs 1 crore in exchange for the organ and convinced Nigvekar to proceed.
