In conflict zones, Sinha played many vital roles as an Indian Police Service (IPS) officer from the 1996 batch. She has been a part of the anti-Maoist operations in Bihar, was responsible for the security arrangements for the Amarnath Yatra conducted for the first time since the pandemic, and commanded 22 battalions of around 22,000 CRPF personnel in the Srinagar, Budgam, and Ganderbal districts of Jammu and Kashmir.
For the first time in the valley, Sinha held the position of a leader in the force. In 2022, she led a joint CRPF-police operation that killed Salim Parray, the top Lashkar-e-Taiba commander. A month after Article 370 was abrogated, Sinha was also posted in the valley. In Kashmir, Sinha went beyond policing and intelligence to mend bridges.
