Chandrapur Farmer Seeks Euthanasia After Kidney Trafficking Ordeal, Accuses Government of Inaction Chandrapur farmer Roshan Kule, whose case has exposed a cross-state kidney trafficking network with alleged international ties, has formally requested permission for euthanasia, citing government inaction and deteriorating health. Kule, who claims he was coerced into selling his kidney to illegal moneylenders to settle debts, has written to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and local authorities demanding restoration of his agricultural land, financial aid, and asset freezes against the accused lenders. His plea underscores a growing crisis of systemic neglect in addressing organized crime linked to human trafficking. Kule’s ordeal first came to light in December last year when details emerged of his alleged kidney sale in Cambodia under duress. This incident triggered an investigation into a broader organ trafficking racket operating across states with overseas connections. Now living with a single kidney, Kule says he is unable to work or support his family, exacerbating his physical and financial distress. He has also highlighted his father’s mental illness and physical disability, which have left the family vulnerable to exploitation. In his latest appeal, Kule accused authorities of failing to act despite repeated assurances. He pointed to a minister of state for home affairs’ promise during a recent state Budget session to address illegal money lending and freeze offenders’ assets. “Even after more than a month, no decisive steps have been taken,” he alleged, emphasizing the lack of tangible progress. Kule’s demands include the immediate restoration of his 1.44 hectares of agricultural land, which he claims was forcibly transferred to the accused.#devendra_fadnavis #chandrapur #roshan_kule #maharashtra_money_lending_regulation_act_2014 #criminal_procedure_code_crpc
