In an unexpected twist, schoolteacher Amir Chand Shekh spent three days in jail over allegations of selling his late mother's cornea. Officials revealed on Friday that a court granted bail after proof showed it was a donation to a government hospital, honoring her wish.
The Krishnanagar court released Shekh and his family, arrested following a complaint claiming body part sales. They were granted bail on Rs 2,000 bonds, refuting the charges as a conspiracy aimed at defaming them.
Amir's mother, Rabeya Sekh, desired to donate her eyes after seeing hospital images during a cataract surgery. Shekh expressed pride in his illiterate mother's understanding of eye donation importance. His wife seeks justice for the distress they endured.
