MUMBAI:

The confirmation of Bhaker being given the country's highest sporting honour comes after the 22-year-old's name did not figure in the initial list by the 12-member awards committee last month. That the only athlete in independent India to win two medals in the same Olympics was overlooked raised eyebrows and evoked criticism. However, Bhaker later admitted her "lapse" in not filing for the nomination. Once that was "being corrected", as Bhaker said in her social media post last month, it was more or less certain that the sports ministry would add her name to the final list.
