When I failed to get a loan, people suggested that I should do a course under the Prime Minister Kaushal Vikas Yojana.

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.When contacted, Rajesh Chaudhary, a local official said: "Kumar had contacted me and it is true that he was denied a loan by a branch of Union Bank of India.
