Saijan Khan who was a manager at the salon exploited the victim sexually. Saijan and Kajal then tried to force the victim into flesh trade but she refused. Recently, Saijan and the victim had opened their salon in partnership.

However, Saijan again pressurised her for flesh trade when they suffered loss in the business. Upset over continuous harassment, the girl committed suicide.

Police officials said victim’s mother married another man after her father’s death. She used to live with her maternal grandparents and worked at salon as she pursued her studies.
