The Free Press Journal - Bhopal|December 25, 2024
Jaspal Rana, the coach of double Olympic medallist Manu Bhaker, has fiercely criticized India's Sports Ministry, the Sports Authority of India, and the National Rifle Association of India for allegedly overlooking Bhaker's credentials for the prestigious Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award.

This controversy arises despite ministry sources claiming that final nominations have yet to be confirmed, asserting Bhaker's name will likely appear in the list to be released next week.

Bhaker made history in August by becoming independent India's first athlete to secure two Olympic medals in a single edition, earning bronze in both the 10m air pistol individual and mixed team events.
