In a shocking incident, the Indian shooting contingent was harassed by the organisers of the ISSF World Cup in Dorset, UK which forced the team manager M Padmanabhan to shoot off a letter to the High Commission in London. In his letter to the Indian High Commissioner in London, Padmanabhan brought to light the frequent harassment the shooters encountered. He said ace trap shooter and Commonwealth Games gold medallist Manavjit Singh Sandhu was insulted by the transport supervisor Mike, who asked the Olympian to get off the bus.

An act against humanity Any government following the policy of harassing sportspersons from foreign soil should have to answer. It is unbelievable how Indian shooters were harassed just because of their origin. Insult meted to our sportsperson or any person for that instance is simply unpardonable. How does a government ever benefit from such deeds? They should immediately look into the matter as frisking Indians are becoming common.
uk should be shameful of their act Yes, of course i believe what i say because till date India is known world wide for welcoming people from any part of world with a warmth. So, why cant we get same respect from other countries? Not this is the first time that it has happened with Indians abroad but there have been many other similar incidents as well that our Indians brothers have faced on foreign soil. I humbly request my country's government to please take some serious action on this issue.
