New Delhi, Apr 14 (PTI) Sports Minister Ajay Maken today said he will write to the Home ministry to give a suitable job to volleyball player Sonu Sinha, who lost her leg after she was thrown out of a moving train near Bareilly by three men on her way to Delhi for a CISF recruitment examination.
Maken, who had announced an immediate ex-gratia of Rs 25,000 for her treatment yesterday, said the government would give more monetary help if required.
Sonu, a 23-year-old national level woman volleyball player, was pushed by three men out of the Padmavat Express on Tuesday night between Chenati and Bareilly railway stations while she tried to resist a robbery attempt.
As she fell on the track, she was hit by another train moving on a parallel track and her left leg below the knee was crushed.
