Teenager Murdered By Gang Who Wanted To Sell Testicles For £100,000

‎‎A gang murdered a teenager and removed his testicles because they thought they were worth £100,000, police have said.

‎‎The gang was said to have been motivated by a social media video promoting a false claim about the value of human testicles.

‎‎The 17-year-old victim, named only as Rehan, was lured to a secluded area where he was stabbed to death by the gang.

‎‎Police in India said his testicles were kept packed in ice while they tried to find a buyer on the black market prepared to pay a huge sum.

‎‎Cops probing the sick killing have arrested prime suspect, 20-year-old business student Zoheb Khan, alleged accomplice Aamir Qureshi, 18, and detained three minors.

‎‎Investigators allege Khan recruited the group and convinced them that testicles could fetch about 12 million Indian rupees (around £92,465) on the black market in the Gulf.

‎‎They claim Khan posed as a doctor to convince his associates he knew how to remove the organs, even going as far as buying a white apron, stethoscope and thermometer online and using them while training the group.

‎Rehan, a street vendor, was said to have been lured to his murder site by two youths who approached him at this stall on August 6 and offered 100 rupees (around 77p) to help them with an arranged fight.

‎‎Ayush Gupta, the deputy commissioner of police in Bhopal, said four of the accused participated in the murder while Khan guided them on a video call.

‎‎When the gang failed to sell the testicles, Khan is said to have ordered the group to dispose of the organs in separate lakes.

‎Police recovered Rehan’s body from Lower Lake near Dhobi Ghat on August 10. They identified him from a tattoo, five days after his worried mum had reported him missing.
