Four-year-old brutally murdered to get rich quickly by selling organs

A deeply heartbreaking and shocking incident has emerged from Chhattisgarh's Jashpur district, where a 27-year-old youth, driven by the greed to earn money quickly, murdered his own four-year-old cousin's son. In this horrific crime, the accused removed the child's organs, such as kidneys, lungs, and eyes, so that he could sell them online. Following his arrest by the police, the accused has confessed to his crime.

According to today's report, the accused has been identified as Vasudev, alias Tangnu, a resident of Chalni Gorrapath village. The police took him into custody on Sunday. During the search for the innocent child's body, the corpse was found in a water-filled pit in a field in Lodhenapath Mahua village of Jashpur district. The body had been stuffed into a sack, wrapped in a blanket and a quilt, and partially buried in the ground.

Jashpur Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Lal Umed Singh provided the details of the entire incident. He stated that the victim's father, 36-year-old Ramjit Ram, had filed a complaint at Sanna Police Station on Saturday stating that his son Jitendra Ram had been missing since 5 November. Ramjit Ram had moved to Sanna village with his family about a year ago for work and was living in a hut near the Amachua river dam. During the investigation, it was learned that the accused Vasudev, who was the complainant's cousin, used to visit their house frequently.

According to the SSP, when family members were searching for the child on Saturday, the father found his son. The child's body was found buried in a pit near a maize field, packed in a sack. Based on the investigation and evidence gathered by the police, Vasudev, a resident of the nearby Chalni Gorrapath village, was taken into custody, and he confessed to his crime during interrogation.

The accused told the police that he was not satisfied with the income earned from manual labor and wanted to earn a lot of money very quickly. Citing the accused's statement, the SSP said that he frequently used social media to find ways to earn money quickly. Influenced by social media, he came up with the idea of removing and selling the organs of small children. On 5 November, the accused took the child away by luring him with promises. He kept moving the child to different places and subsequently purchased liquor and chicken. There is also an allegation that the accused made the child consume alcohol.

When the child fell asleep in an intoxicated state, the accused slit his throat with a knife. SSP Lal Umed Singh further stated that the accused dismembered the child's body and removed his kidneys, lungs, and eyes, keeping these organs in a plastic bucket. He then wrapped the body in a blanket and a quilt, stuffed it into a sack, threw it into a water-filled pit in a field, and covered it with soil.

Based on the accused's disclosures, the police have thoroughly seized the weapon used in the crime, the plastic bucket used to hold the organs, and other related items from the ground at the crime scene. Currently, further investigation into the matter is being conducted by the police.

This incident has caused a sensation in the entire area and has raised concerns regarding the increasing cases of crime due to social media. The police are now investigating whether any other individuals are involved in this crime or if the accused was connected to a specific network for selling these organs.
