Bollywood Beheading Bombshell: Actress Slain in Extortion Plot

Yikes: "Meenakshi Thapar, 26, who had appeared in the Indian horror film 404 last year, met [...] two aspiring actors who allegedly later killed her on the set of her latest film, Heroine. [...] 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 [$1,152] 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." [Telegraph via THR]
