Crime Patrol Actress Kidnaps Lover’s Nephew After Family Opposes Marriage in Palghar

Palghar: A Crime Patrol actress has been arrested for allegedly kidnapping a three-and-a-half-year-old boy in Palghar district, Maharashtra .

The Maharashtra police confirmed the arrest on Sunday, identifying the actress as Shabreen. 

Reportedly, she was upset with her lover, Brijesh Singh’s family, who opposed their marriage due to differences in their communities.

Shabreen, known for her roles in the popular true crime series Crime Patrol, was so infatuated with Brijesh that she allegedly lost control of her actions, said Senior Officer Jayaraj Ranawane of the Waliv Police.

Police are also investigating Brijesh Singh's possible involvement in the kidnapping, as he was reportedly seen with an unidentified female accomplice during the incident.

Shabreen and Brijesh had been romantically involved for several years, but Brijesh's family opposed their relationship due to caste and religious differences. Despite Shabreen’s repeated efforts to gain the family's approval, their resistance persisted, leading her to commit the crime.

According to the police, the kidnapping occurred around 11 AM on Saturday when Shabreen allegedly picked up Brijesh’s nephew, Prince, from his school. Since Prince was familiar with Shabreen, he willingly went with her after she claimed she was taking him for medical treatment.

When Prince didn’t return home by the afternoon, his family made inquiries at the school and learned that he had left with a woman who claimed she was taking him to the doctor. The family then contacted the police, who reviewed CCTV footage. The footage showed Shabreen taking the child away in an auto-rickshaw, accompanied by another woman.

The auto driver, when questioned, revealed that he had dropped Shabreen in Naigaon. Witnesses later identified her from photographs. The police traced her mobile phone location and arrested her in Bandra.

During interrogation, Shabreen revealed that Prince had been kept in a flat in Naigaon, where he was later rescued. Shabreen has been taken into custody, and the police are working to identify her accomplice.
