bollywood actress kidnapped and killed

Damn. This is a horrific story out of India, where a young Bollywood actress was allegedly kidnapped and killed by two struggling actors who were trying to extort money from her family: Bollywood actress kidnapped and beheaded by actors.

26-year-old Meenakshi Thapar, best known for her role in the Indian horror movie 404, was kidnapped by two aspiring actors, Amit Jaiswal and his lover Preeti Surin, who strangled and then beheaded her after demanding a ransom from her family:
They allegedly invited her on a trip with them to Gorakhpur, a small town close to India’s border with Nepal and known for its Buddhist temples, where they held her hostage and sent a message to Ms Thapar's Nepali parents demanding 1,500,000 Rupees (£18,000).

According to police, her 'fellow actors' warned her mother they would force her daughter to take part in pornography films if their demands were not met.

Her mother paid 60,000 Rupees (£730) into her daughter's account for her kidnappers to withdraw, but she was allegedly killed soon after. She was strangled to death, beheaded, and her body was dumped at two different sites as her killers made their way back to Mumbai. Her torso was dumped in a water tank and her head thrown out of the bus window in a bag on the road to Mumbai.
That is absolutely twisted and crazy. Jaiswal and Surin confessed to the murder after police caught them with the SIM card to Thapar's phone. More here: Bollywood Actress Kidnapped and Beheaded.
