Salam was born to a lower middle-class family in 1925 in Ajmer Sharif, British India. He migrated to Pakistan after the Indo-Pak Independence.[2]
Initially, he joined Radio Pakistan, Hyderabad, as a technical operator. But later, he became successful as a news reader. He also worked for Pakistan Television as an Urdu news presenter from 1977 to 1989.[1][3][2]
On 29 June 1992, Salam was hit by a motorcycle when he was leaving the Radio Pakistan station for home after recording the night's news bulletin. Due to severe injuries, he died on 2 July 1992, after remaining 2 days in a coma.[1][2]
