In Hindustan Times, Anirban Roy visits a village in Nepal where at least one member from each family has sold their kidneys in India.
Madhav Parajuli, a 33-year-old farmer, said he was taken to Gurgaon near New Delhi to donate his kidney and was cheated on the payment promised to him. He wants the government to compensate him now that the key accused in India’s illegal kidney transplant scam has been arrested.
Dipak Nepal, 23, had a narrow escape. “They took me to Delhi with the promise to pay 1.5 lakhs (Nepali rupees). But when they started bargaining with me saying they will only pay 45,000 rupees, I ran away.”
