Bihar native Jyoti visited her father Mohan Paswan in Gurgaon in March, media reports said.
It was that time of the month when the Indian government imposed the nationwide lockdown to fight COVID-19.
However, Mohan was hurt in an accident and with situations becoming tough due to lockdown, Jyoti decided to head back to her hometown Darbhanga in Bihar.
With no train or other vehicle available on the road due to lockdown, riding a cycle, Jyoti carried her father to Bihar.
