Shabreen acted in the popular true crime series, Crime Patrol. She was in a relationship with the boy's uncle, Brijesh Singh. The latter's family opposed their relationship because they belonged to different communities.The Waliv police said Shabreen was so infatuated with Brijesh Singh that she lost awareness of her actions.

"Shabreen was so infatuated with Brijesh that she lost awareness of her actions, despite her roles in crime serials like 'Crime Patrol' and films based on real events," senior officer Jayaraj Ranawane told ANI.

The police are trying to find out if Brijesh Singh was also involved in the kidnapping. The police said he was seen with an unidentified woman.

Shabreen and Brijesh had been in a relationship for several years, but due to caste and religious differences, Brijesh's family did not approve of their union.

Shabreen allegedly committed the crime because she was upset with the family for thwarting her efforts to win them over.

The police said the man's nephew, Prince, was in school on Saturday. Shabreen allegedly arrived at the school at 11 AM and picked him up.

Since the boy knew her, he willingly went along with her. She told the authorities that she was picking him up for medication.

When the family members couldn't find Prince, they asked the school about his whereabouts. They said a woman had taken him saying they were going to see a doctor.
