The shocking news of the apparent suicide of Aslam Salmani, the popularly known owner of Hollywood Salon close to Congress Bhawan, Jalandhar, has left the community in a state of distress. Preliminary information suggests that Salmani was going through some form of severe mental distress for quite some time, allegedly due to personal and family problems having to do with his life.
Sources inform that Salmani was facing issues in his personal life as well, having been married twice before. The police received a call regarding the incident, and staff from Police Station No. 6 were the first responders. They removed the body and sent it to the civil hospital mortuary for an autopsy.
Officials disclosed that Salmani’s second wife is still unaccounted for, and her cell phone has been off since the incident. These facts support the assumption that some sort of domestic controversy could have led to Salmani’s state of mind. Police have taken family members' statements and have initiated a systemic investigation into the matter, which will be followed by actions based on what is discovered.
The shocking, hard-to-believe incident has given a blow to the community, which needs to consider more thoughts about mental health in regard to its family support.
