The model, originally from Panipat, was identified based on tattoos. Sheetal was known for her work in Haryanvi music videos.
She lived with her sister, Neha, in Khalila Majra, who had reported her missing on Sunday. It is believed that Sheetal was assaulted by her boyfriend on June 14th, during a shooting.
