India's junior pistol shooting coach Jaspal Rana has revealed that Manu Bhaker was not responsible for the controversial Tweet that surfaced on her Twitter handle last month. The tweet was aimed at the Rs 2 crore prize money promised by the state government for her gold medal at the Youth Olympics.

Heena Sidhu and Manu Bhaker will take up the responsibility for leading the charge of the Indian shooting contingent during the ISSF World Cup to be held in Delhi next month. The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) announced the Indian squad to take part in the first of the four World Cups.

Manu Bhaker has managed to bag both the junior and women’s category gold medals of the 10 meters air pistol events at the national selection trials being held in Delhi. A few days ago, Bhaker also got top positions in the women’s 25m pistol events in both the women’s and junior sections.

Shooter Abhinav Bindra has stated that India is quite fortunate in the sense that young kids are taking up shooting day-in and day-out which, he says, is a positive sign for the country. Bindra is a lone athlete from India to have won an individual gold medal in any sport at the Summer Olympic.
