The wrestler clarified through the video that she is absolutely fine. ” My name is Nisha , I have come to play Sr Nationals in Gonda and I’m completely fine , this is fake news and I’m completely fine” Nisha said in the video.
Wrestler Sakshi Malik, a close friend of Nisha Dahiya, was also with her on the video and later Sakshi also tweeted a photo with Nisha and captioned, ‘She is alive’.
After her clarification it was emerged that the murder of the wrestler at the local academy was another Nisha Dahiya and not the National level wrestler!
Nisha is playing since when she was 13 years old and won many National championships and she won her first international medal in 2014 in the 49kg category from Asian Championships.
Later she was tested positive for meldonium, a drug which was banned by World Anti-Doping Agency in 2016 and faced a four-year doping ban but she made a stronger comeback and won the U-23 National Championships in October 2019 in Shirdi.
