She was a volleyball champion before her mischance, however picked mountaineering to "achieve her fantasies".

The railroad council requested that Ms Sinha must be paid 700,000 rupees ($11,000; £8,000) in pay after her lawful group could demonstrate that she had been going on a substantial ticket and had been pushed from a moving train by looters.
