Mehuli, who won a gold and silver in the team event in 10m Air Rifle Mixed final at the ongoing World Cup in Changwon, South Korea, suffered a serious setback some years back due to a freak accident and battled for years to get her career back on track. In 2015, at a training session at the Serampore Rifle Club in West Bengal, she misfired a shot, which hit one of the employees in the leg. Mehuli was suspended by the federation and wasn't able to take part in competitive shooting for some years after that, which pushed her into depression.
