Priya first hogged headlines in December, 2014 when she was arrested along with her then boyfriend for attempting to loot an ATM in Mansarovar. Priya who was 23-year-old at that time got the idea about ATM loot from the internet, and bought a gas cutter for Rs 10,000 to carry out the crime. She was nearly successful in committing a shocking heist with the help of her boyfriend when all her efforts failed due to the alertness of two cops in Mansarovar area.
In March this year, she was arrested by Vaishali Nagar police for blackmailing a 30-year-old man after threatening to implicate him in a bogus rape case. Police officials said that she was released on bail and then befriended Dushyant, eventually killing him with the help of her boyfriend and other man for ransom.
