The former Miss Arunachal winner has accused the organisers of not fulfilling their financial commitments. 

Koyu stated that when she approached the Department of Youth Affairs to inquire about the matter, the organisers became upset with her.

Koyu expressed her disappointment with the organiser, stating that she had done a significant amount of work under their banner but was never paid. She has come forward to the media in the hope of ensuring that future beauty pageant winners do not encounter such issues.
