Indian player offers vital organ to raise vital funds


MUMBAI (Reuters) - An Indian squash player has taken the unusual step of putting his kidney up for sale to raise funds ahead of next month's South Asian Games, according to local media reports.

Ravi Dixit, who will turn 23 this week, is part of the home squad for the event taking place in northeast India and has used social media to offer up an organ for an asking price of 800,000 rupees (8,226 pounds) due to a lack of sponsors.
