Kidney selling is not legal in India

After reading the story of an Indian fan trying to sell his kidny to collect funds to go to West Indies to watch the world cup, I did a small research and found information stating that such a proposition is illegal.

Only in January 1995, did the kidney scandal come to the surface through a series of incidents which received wide media coverage and prompted public outrage causing the Indian Congress to pass
legislation banning kidney trade.

So I dont think Mr Sharma will get to sell his kidny and go to West Indies. On the contrary, he might find himself behind the bars for making the offer.
