Controversy
In April 2022, following the Federation Cup in Kozhikode, Aishwarya Mishra was unavailable for a mandatory dope test, which led to reports that she had gone missing. She later clarified that her absence was due to attending to her ailing grandmother. Mishra subsequently returned to competition at the National Inter-State Senior Athletics Championships held in June 2022.[7][8]
