Digvijay Singh Memorial Shooting Championship: Asian Games silver medallist Lakshay Sheoran of Haryana and local favourite Neeru, picked up the men’s and women’s trap titles at the 3rd Digvijay Singh Memorial Shooting Championship for shotgun events, which concluded here at the MP State Academy (MPSA) Shooting range. Lakshay shot 47 to win the 50-shot final, while cousin Neeru, who represents Madhya Pradesh, trapped two targets less to come out on top of two closely contested finals.

Lakshay, thanks to a great start to the men's final, managed to fend off a super finish by Delhi’s Fahd Sultan as he finished two targets short of the winner. Qualification topper Suleman Arsh Elahi of Rajasthan won bronze while Olympian Prithviraj Tondaiman finished fifth.

In the women’s final, Delhi shooter Kirti Gupta gave a close fight to Neeru. However, one miss in the last 10 proved her undoing as Neeru clinched it by one in the end.
