According to Indian police, Thapar was lured by the couple on a trip to the town of Gorakhpur. While on the trip, the couple kidnapped Thapar and sent threatening message to her mother. The messages claim the couple would force Thapar to film pornographic movies if their financial demands were not met. Thapar’s family was asked to handover 1,500,000-rupee, or $28,000, to the couple. Thapar’s mother paid the couple a little over $1,000, which is 60,000 rupees. The couple decided that the money was not enough and decided to kill Thapar. The couple was found with Thapar’s phone and sim card in their possession and then confessed to the killing.

Thapar is most recognized for her role in ‘404,’ an Indian horror film, which is where she met her killers.
