New Delhi, May 29 (PTI) Double Paralympic medallist shooter Singhraj Adhana will not be a part of the Indian contingent for the Paris Paralympic Games because of a change in competition rules by the International Paralympic Committee post the 2021 Tokyo edition.

The 42-year-old Singhraj had won silver in mixed 50m pistol SH1 and bronze in 10m air pistol SHI category.

The Paralympic Committee of India (PCI) selection panel for shooting met on Tuesday and decided that though nine Paris quota places had been bagged by the country’s para shooters, only eight will board the flight to Paris.

“Although we have secured nine quota places for Paris Paralympics, as per our PCI selection policy and World Shooting Para Sports (WSPS) guidelines, only eight shooters will be able to participate, so we will have to surrender one quota of Singhraj,” the minutes of the PCI selection committee meeting stated.
