The 22-year-old, who won gold at the National Games in Dehradun earlier this year with a personal best throw of 15.97 metres, tested positive for Terbutaline — a stimulant commonly found in cough syrups.
The Punjab athlete had also secured second place at the Inter-University Games last year with a best effort of 14.75m.
