Manu Bhaker's father, Ram Kishan, has criticized the organization of shooting events at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan. The 2026 Asian Games, held in Japan, saw Manu, a double Olympic medalist, fail to secure a medal in any of her events. She competed in women's 25m pistol and 10m air pistol individual and team events but finished fifth in the 25m pistol team event, with India securing the fifth position overall.
The lack of medals was attributed to a single shot by Rahi Sarnobat, which negatively impacted India's performance. Ram Kishan also pointed out logistical issues, including the smell of a nearby gutter and the shooting range being far from Nagoya City, requiring athletes to spend four to five hours daily traveling. He questioned the relevance of such travel times and the organization's ability to properly prepare for major events.
