Which Indian sprinter was stripped of her silver medal at the 2006 Asian Games due to a failed drug test?
Santhi Soundarajan
Santhi Soundarajan, a middle-distance runner from Tamil Nadu, won the silver medal in the women's 800 m at the 2006 Asian Games in Doha, Qatar.
She was later stripped of the medal. Strictly, this was because she failed a sex-verification (gender) test conducted after the race, not a drug (doping) test; she is the only athlete among the options who lost a 2006 Asian Games medal in this way. The question's wording refers to it as a failed test.
P. T. Usha ("Payyoli Express") won many Asian Games medals in the 1980s and 1990s and retired well before 2006; Dutee Chand is a sprinter who later challenged the hyperandrogenism rules and won two silvers at the 2018 Asian Games; K. M. Beenamol won 800 m gold at the 2002 Asian Games. None of them was stripped of a 2006 medal.
Hence, the answer is Santhi Soundarajan.
