Controversy Erupts as Top Shooter Snubbed for Asian Games

Zoravar Singh Sandhu, Asia's top trap shooter, has been excluded from India's Asian Games squad despite achieving international success. Although he requested a review of his exclusion, the National Rifle Association of India insists on sticking to its selection policy, potentially jeopardizing India's medal prospects.

Controversy has emerged in the Indian shooting sports realm as Zoravar Singh Sandhu, Asia's number one and world-ranked sixth trap shooter, finds himself dropped from the Indian contingent for the Asian Games.

The veteran shooter, who secured a bronze at the prestigious World Championships last year, has faced selection challenges due to a recent dip in form.

Despite his petition to the National Rifle Association of India to reconsider, the federation remains firm on its prior selection criteria. With the decision nearly finalized, the inclusion of top talents Kynan Chenai, Ahvar Rizvi, and Shapath Bhardwaj stands, raising concerns about India's medal chances.
