India's first and only individual Olympic gold-medallist Abhinav Bindra was on Thursday named Chairman of a five-member review committee to probe the shooters' Rio Games debacle.
The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) said the mandate of the committee is to "examine and identify in a cold and ruthless manner" the causes behind shooting not securing any medals at the Rio Olympics. The committee is also mandated to recommend concrete steps that NRAI must immediately undertake to ensure that this is not repeated in future Olympics. Bindra has told NRAI that though he would not question any of his teammates, he would remain open to any assessment by the review committee. Other members of the committee include former tennis player Manisha Malhotra, who has also been appointed Convenor of the committee, NRAI Secretary Rajiv Bhatia and two journalists.
