Bhubaneswar: The Commissionerate Police on Wednesday arrested a man for duping a man of Rs 5.5 lakh on the promise of donating a kidney for him.
The arrested has been identified as Himanshu Bhusan Nanda of Nuapada village under Pattamundai block of Kendrapada district.
According to police, Pratap Chandra Mishra, a native of Routapada village of Rupsa in Balasore district was in need of an immediate kidney transplant for which he was in search of a healthy donor.
