New Delhi: Indian para shooter Rajeev Malik suffered a setback before the IPC Shooting World Cup at Fort Benning, USA, as the marksmen lost both his rifles during travel.
The 34-year-old handicapped shooter finds himself in a spot of bother as the airlines he travelled from Delhi to Atlanta misplaced his two rifles, which were part of his travel baggage. Malik found that his both rifles were missing after reaching Atlanta airport. The airlines told him that as soon as they locate his baggage, they will have it delivered at his hotel. Since the airline could not locate any of his two rifles, the shooter had to compete with a borrowed rifle which cost him a chance to win a Paralympic quota.
