A bizarre incident has come to light in Gopalganj, Bihar. A young man borrowed two lakh rupees from his uncle to play an online game, hoping to get rich. However, he lost the money. To repay the debt, he approached a doctor. The doctor and local residents, displaying quick thinking, informed the youth’s family.
The youth, identified as Sujit Kumar, a resident of Sirmai village in the Saran district, runs a studio and provides videography services for weddings. He became addicted to an online game called DBG after seeing an advertisement on Instagram.
Sujit initially won 30,000 rupees after investing 10,000 rupees in the game. He then became obsessed with the game, dreaming of wealth. His uncle sent money for a motorcycle, but Sujit gambled this money, hoping to double it. He planned to then return his mother’s money and have some left over for himself, but he lost.
Sujit accumulated a debt of 2 lakh rupees. To pay off the debt, he fled from his village in Saran district to Gopalganj, telling his family he was going away for work. He went to a private clinic near Ambedkar Chowk in Gopalganj. There, he requested the doctor to buy his kidney, citing his need for money.
When the doctor inquired about the reason behind his decision, Sujit revealed his story. He confessed to losing two lakh rupees in an online game and wanting to sell his kidney to settle the debt. Hearing this, the doctor alerted the people nearby.
The people present promptly intervened and counselled the youth. Subsequently, his parents were informed. His mother and relatives arrived and convinced him to return home with them. The incident has become a topic of discussion in the area.
