A farmer from Maharashtra’s Chandrapur district sold his kidney to repay a loan. Police confirmed that farmer Roshan Kude has only one kidney after a medical check at Chandrapur Medical College on December 17, 2025. Kude said he borrowed ₹50,000 in 2021 from two moneylenders at 40% interest. The loan amount with interest ballooned to ₹74 lakh, the farmer said. Kude claimed one moneylender told him to sell a kidney to pay the debt. He contacted an agent online, went to Kolkata for a medical exam, then to Cambodia where his kidney was removed. Kude said he got ₹8 lakh in return. The police arrested six moneylenders: Kishor Bawankule, Pradip Bawankule, Sanjay Ballarpure, Laxman Urkude, Manish Ghatbandhe, and Satyavan Borkar. Five were sent to police custody till December 20, 2025. The case is with Brahmapuri police. Chandrapur Superintendent of Police Sudarshan Mummaka told the media, “We have requested Mr. Kude to provide all information. We went through his financial transactions and found that he has borrowed money from multiple moneylenders.” Kude owns four acres of farmland and had started dairy farming to earn extra income after farming losses.
