50,000 loan turns into 74 lakh debt and a missing kidney: A Maharashtra farmers harrowing story
A small loan that spiralled into crushing debt and ended in the loss of a kidney has placed a farmer in Maharashtras Chandrapur district at the centre of a police investigation, after doctors confirmed he has only one kidney, officials said on Wednesday. The farmer, 29-year-old Roshan Kude, underwent a health assessment at Chandrapur Medical College and Hospital, where doctors concluded that one of his kidneys was missing, a senior police official said. Kude had earlier told the police that he was forced to sell his kidney to repay part of the money he had borrowed from four moneylenders, triggering a police probe. The investigation led to the arrest of six moneylenders, five of whom have been remanded in police custody until December 20, the official said. Kude, a resident of Minthur village in Nagbhid tehsil, owns four acres of farmland. After incurring losses in agriculture, he sought to supplement his income by turning to dairy farming. He bought cows, hoping the venture would provide a steady source of income. Kude told police that he borrowed Rs 50,000 from two moneylenders in 2021 at an interest rate of 40 percent. He said the moneylenders later claimed the amount, including interest, had ballooned to Rs 74 lakh. According to the farmer, one of the moneylenders suggested that he sell a kidney to partially clear the debt. Kude then searched online and came into contact with an agent, who took him to Kolkata. After undergoing a medical examination there, Kude travelled to Cambodia, where his kidney was removed, he told police, adding that he received Rs 8 lakh in return. The accused moneylenders have been identified as Kishor Bawankule, Pradip Bawankule, Sanjay Ballarpure, Laxman Urkude, Manish Ghatbandhe and Satyavan Borkar. A case has been registered at the Brahmapuri police station. We have requested Kude to provide all information. We went through his financial transactions and found that he has borrowed money from multiple moneylenders, said Chandrapur Superintendent of Police Sudarshan Mummaka on Wednesday.

NCP (SP) aligning with Ajit Pawar's NCP would be like joining hands with BJP: Sena (UBT) leader Raut
MUMBAI: The NCP (SP) forging an alliance with the Ajit Pawar-led NCP for the Pune Municipal Corporation polls would be akin to joining hands with the BJP, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut said on Thursday. Talking to reporters, Raut said he will meet NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar and hold discussions on various issues, including any understanding between the two rival factions for the Pune civic body polls. Having an alliance with Ajit Pawar would be akin to joining hands with the BJP. Ajit Pawar is an agent of the BJP, and any truck with him will mean strengthening the BJP, Raut said in response to a question. The NCP and NCP (SP) have held talks about joining hands for the Pune Municipal Corporation elections. Earlier this week, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had said that the BJP and the NCP won't have an alliance in Pune and Pimpri Chinchwad municipal corporations, and there will be a friendly fight between the two Mahayuti allies. Besides the BJP and NCP, the ruling Mahayuti also has the Shiv Sena, led by Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, as a constituent. Raut said Pawar is positive about Uddhav Thackeray's Sena (UBT) and the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena coming together for the civic body polls. He said the NCP (SP) will ally with the Sena (UBT) and MNS in Nashik and Thane. Raut further claimed that Shiv Sena's udget for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation polls was about Rs 10,000 crore and that the party would give Rs 10 crore to each candidate, but did not provide any details to back the claim. Elections to the 29 municipal corporations in the state will take place on January 15, and the counting will be held a day later.
