The discovery was made by her family, who had become concerned after not hearing from her for some time.
According to the Women For Change organization, Saleni had reportedly been involved in a heated argument with her boyfriend just a few nights before her death. A friend of Saleni's revealed that she had reached out for the contact details of the nearest police station, indicating her distress.
