She will now participate in her second Paralympic Games in Paris, the Sports Authority of India informed in a post on X, formerly Twitter, IANS reported.

Allain Ganapin (men's -80 kg) of the Philippines also qualified for his second Paralympics, but he was unable to compete at Tokyo 2020 due to a positive COVID-19 test and will now prepare for his Olympic debut. Seven countries won Olympic quotas for the Paris 2024 Paralympics at the Asian Qualifiers with Thailand claiming three berths.
