Salian's body was found on 8th June 2020 at the ground floor of a high rise building in Malad West. It was initially declared that she had accidently fallen from the 14th floor while attending a party at the building. The cause of her death was later declared as suicide. The post-mortem report stated that her body was found naked, which raised suspicions of foul play[4].

Sushant Singh Rajput's death occurred on 14th June 2020, six days after Salian's death. Within a few days, a campaign was launched by the fans of Rajput, alleging foul play and cover up in both cases.
