NRAI bows down to Bindra’s pressure


NEW DELHI, Jan 18 (PTI): After creating a furore by threatening to quit, Abhinav Bindra had his way with the shooting establishment today agreeing to consider the Olymic hero’s international scores for inclusion in the team for the third and fourth World Cups to be held later this year.

The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), however, made it clear that Abhinav’s inclusion in the first and second edition of the mega-event and the Commonwealth Shooting Championships was out of question as the squads for the three events have already been approved by the Sports Ministry.
