Lucknow, April 19: The decapitated body of Bollywood junior artist Meenakshi Thapa was recovered from the house of model Preeti Surin, one of the accused in the murder case.
A police team from Mumbai’s crime branch arrived in Allahabad on Tuesday with Preeti and her boyfriend Amit Jaiswal. The body of the actress was dumped in the septic tank of the house.
The duo had lured the actress to Allahabad on the pretext of film shooting. They had thought that Thapa was from a wealthy family and they could get a hefty ransom if they abducted her.
Preeti and Jaiswal later realised that she was not rich and brutally hacked her to death on March 16.
The head of the victim was yet to be recovered. The police have launched a search for the severed head of Thapa on the Allahabad-Jaunpur state highway.
