India, Jan. 19 -- Manu Bhaker, India's celebrated Olympic shooter, tragically lost her maternal grandmother and maternal uncle in a road accident on Sunday. The incident occurred on the Mahendragarh Bypass Road in Charkhi Dadri, Haryana, involving a collision between a scooter and a Brezza car.

ASI Suresh Kumar reported, "We received information regarding the accident involving a car and a scooter. Both individuals on the scooter succumbed to their injuries. The driver of the car was not present at the scene."

Recently, Bhaker, a double Olympic medallist, was honoured with the esteemed Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award by the President of India, Draupadi Murmu, at the Rashtrapati Bhawan.

At the upcoming Paris Games in the summer of 2024, the 22-year-old will be recognized as India's first athlete to secure two medals in a single Olympic edition. Bhaker initiated India's medal tally at the Olympics by clinching third place in the women's individual 10m air pistol event, making her the first female shooter to earn an Olympic medal for India. Shortly thereafter, she and Sarabjot Singh achieved a bronze medal in the 10m air pistol (mixed team) event, marking India's inaugural shooting team medal.
