The other members of the six-member relay team have already reached the South Korean city of Gumi for the continental championships.
There is a possibility that she may have failed a dope test but the officials are tight-lipped on the issue.
"I cannot say anything, I have not seen any official document," an Athletics Federation of India (AFI) official said when asked specifically about a dope violation.
PTI is withholding the name of the athlete in the absence of an official word on the matter.
The AFI is expecting a podium finish from the women's 4x400m relay.
India had named a 59-member team for the biennial continental championships.
