Anjali has been working as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer on LinkedIn since July. She had previously been employed by Yahoo, the Californianewstimes.com report said.
“On Wednesday night, five tourists were dining on the terrace of La Malquerida, located on one of Tulum’s main arteries, when four men armed with assault rifles fired at an adjoining table in the premises at around 10:30 p.m. The stray bullets hit the foreigners: the two women died and the other three young people, from Germany and the Netherlands, were wounded. They are still admitted to the hospital. Authorities point to a confrontation between rival organized crime gangs. Anjali Ryot and her friends were just the collateral victims,” Today.in-24 reported.
