TLDR: The guy was posing as a wealthy businessman and the girl, along with her actual boyfriend who was 21 lakhs in debt wanted to kidnap him take the ransom money and kill him anyway. And so they did.
The average annual income in India is apparently 2 lakhs, so 21 lakhs is definitely significant. After accounting for purchasing power parity, I’d reckon it “feels like” hundreds of thousands USD.
