Where you live, do you often see wild chickens living on their own? If so, you may have found one of these wild chicks. Tooki may have been driven off by her mother hen because the hen could tell there is something wrong with her. Even domestic chickens will often do this when they sense a chick has hatched with genetic abnormalities.
I suspect Tooki hatched with genetic problems. A baby chick sometimes hatches with immature or incomplete organs. Sometimes this affects how efficiently they utilize the nutrients in food. The result will be a chick that doesn't grow. Eventually, such a chick may get sick due to insufficient nutrient uptake and a poor immune system. I believe Tooki may be in this predicament.
There is a chance you can rally her with vitamins and nutritional food. If you can find a bottle of liquid baby vitamin supplements, that would be a big help to Tooki. If you can find some vitamin E oil and selenium, 400iu of the E daily with just a tiny sliver off a selenium tablet can help repair any balance issues. B-complex can help strengthen the weak legs. If you ferment Tooki's feed, that releases many more nutrients as well as natural probiotics. Your other chick can also benefit from this fermented feed.
I urge you to contact @Saaniya or be ready for her to contact you. She's in India, too, and can make suggestions as to where to look for these vitamins. She's also studying to be a vet and understands chickens. She would be a big help to you. Click on the user name and it will take you to her profile page.
