Bhopal Police have arrested two people and detained three minors for allegedly murdering a teenaged boy and attempting to remove his private organs as part of a plan to sell them for Rs 1.20 crore. Police said the accused allegedly planned the crime after watching a video that showed how body parts could be removed from an unconscious person. The victim, identified as Rehan, used to sell pens and key rings around Iqbal Maidan, Retghat, Kamla Park, the bus stand and Royal Market. His body was found near Dhobi Ghat at Chhote Talab on August 10. A post-mortem examination revealed injuries to his abdomen and leg, following which Talaiya police registered a murder case. Tattoo helped establish identity IDENTIFYING the victim initially proved difficult as his head had been badly damaged. Police circulated his photograph through social media and the media and also went door-to-door seeking information. On August 15, Rani Shah approached Talaiya police to report her son missing. She identified the body through a tattoo on his left hand bearing the initials ‘S.K.’ and the word ‘Shankar’. According to police, accused 2 0 - y e a r - o l d Zoheb Khan, wearing an apron and carrying a stethoscope, allegedly introduced himself as a medical student to two minor accused. He allegedly befriended one of the minors about a month ago and later showed him and 18-year-old Aamir Qureshi a video explaining how private organs could be removed from a person. Police said Zoheb allegedly told the group that they could earn around Rs 1.20 crore by selling the organs and that a boy aged around 15 to 16 years was required for the plan. Aamir allegedly brought two more minors into the conspiracy, after which the group began looking for a suitable target. Rehan lured with Rs 100 ON AUGUST 6, two minors allegedly approached Rehan at Iqbal Maidan and lured him by claiming they had been involved in a fight near Khatalpura and needed help.

 

They allegedly offered him Rs 100. Aamir and another minor later joined them near Retghat, and the group took Rehan through Ginnori and Kilol Park towards Dhobi Ghat. Police said the accused allegedly killed Rehan near Dhobi Ghat before one of the minors produced a blade and a mask. Aamir allegedly informed Zoheb about the killing, following which Zoheb gave instructions over the phone and social media video on removing the organs. The accused allegedly removed the private organs using a small blade and placed them in a plastic bag. Buyer could not be arranged ACCORDING to police, Zoheb later failed to arrange a buyer. The organs were allegedly returned to Aamir and the minors, who kept them for a few days and made another attempt to sell them. When the deal failed, police said, the organs were thrown back into the lake. Police said the accused had initially approached two other minors to involve them in the alleged plan. While one refused, another was allegedly lured with Rs 100 on the pretext of joining a fight. The accused allegedly attempted to strangle him, but he managed to escape and later approached Talaiya police. A separate case has been registered. DCP Zone-3 Ayush Gupta assigned the investigation to ACP Kotwali Santosh Patel and formed teams from Shamla Hills and Talaiya police stations. Police said they are examining Zoheb’s social media accounts and phone records to establish whether he contacted potential buyers or other people in connection with the alleged plan. Two arrested, three minors detained POLICE have arrested Zoheb Khan and Aamir Qureshi and detained three minors in connection with the case. Investigators are also searching for other people allegedly involved in the conspiracy and for the person who may have been approached as a potential buyer.
