Howrah: A woman in West Bengal's Howrah district emotionally blackmailed her husband to sell his kidney for Rs 10 lakh amid ‘financial distress’; she then took the money and ran away with her boyfriend. The woman's husband has filed a complaint and a case has been registered.
The shocking incident has been reported from Sankrail in the Howrah district of West Bengal where the woman emotionally blackmailed her husband to sell his kidney and ease the financial problems in their house.
The wife convinced her partner to sell his kidney so that their 10-year-old daughter's future including her marriage could be financially secured. After searching for a buyer for almost a year, the husband sold his kidney for Rs 10 lakh three months ago.
The woman then took the Rs 10 lakh that came from selling her husband's kidney and ran away with her boyfriend, whom she had met via Facebook and was in a relationship with.
The husband filed a complaint with the police and also visited his estranged wife at her lover's residence in Barrackpore. After a lot of efforts, when the wife finally opened the door and was confronted, she asked him to leave and that she would be sending a divorce notice soon. A case has been registered by the police following the complaint by the husband.
