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.

Mishra subsequently returned to competition at the National Inter-State Senior Athletics Championships held in June 2022.
