Day after murder news, Nisha Dahiya wins national title

Nisha Dahiya

It was a perfect and happy ending for Nisha Dahiya as she emerged national champion in the women's 65kg category a day after her dramatic murder story turned out to be a case of mistaken identity.

The title clash ended in just 30 seconds with Nisha, the U-23 world championship bronze medallist, pinning her rival Jaspreet Kaur from Punjab. Except for her semi-final against Haryana's Priyanka, it turned out to be an easy day in the office for Nisha, 23, who represents Railways.

"It indeed is a happy and perfect end to my campaign. I was so stressed yesterday. I could not even sleep. I was already low on energy due to weight cut and this incident just proved too much to handle," Nisha said after winning her third gold medal at the Nationals. It was reported that Nisha had been shot dead in Sonepat but later it came to light that the deceased was her name sake and an upcoming wrestler.
