Amputee Who Conquered Everest Says She Was 'Mocked' At Ujjain Temple

Arunima Sinha, the first amputee to scale Mount Everest and a former national-level volleyball player, said she was not allowed to enter one of the key shrines in Ujjain and was "mocked" about her disability. The athlete - whose leg was amputated after she was pushed out of a running train while resisting a robbery attempt six years ago -- broke down after she was stopped twice by security personnel when she tried to enter the sanctum sanctorum of the Mahakaal temple.
