The mother of Ms. Thapar only managed to pay 60,000 Rupees but her daughter was killed shortly after the two actor received the cash.

Ms Thapar's upper body was found dumped in a water tank and her head was found in a bag on the road connecting Mumbai and Gorakhpur.

Amit Jaiswal, 36, and Preeti Surin,26, were later apprehended and reportedly confessed to the murder.

Ms. Thapar, 26, worked in the Indian horror film "404". She met the two actors, Jaiswal and Surin, while working on the movie "404".
