Nearly five years after the then Asian champion Nirmala Sheoran went missing, and later failing dope tests to end up with a four-year ban, another prominent quartermiler Aishwarya Mishra has now gone incommunicado.
Nobody in the Athletics Federation of India knows where the 24-year-old Aishwarya, Asia’s fastest quartermiler this year and the third fastest Indian ever with her 51.18s at the recent Federation Cup, is now or where she is training. And the World Championships and Commonwealth Games are just about two months away!
“Missing, phones switched off,” AFI president Adille Sumariwalla told The Hindu on Tuesday when asked about Aishwarya’s whereabouts.
