“On an average, I am earning just 3,000 per month. Unable to find any other source of income, I am now forced to sell my kidney, for which I have put up posters. I have got offers from Dubai and Singapore as the posters have been circulated online as well,” he said. However, he refused to disclose the price for his kidney.
