Narwal defeated Singhraj Adhana for the gold medal in the men's 10 metres air pistol SH1, with the pair finishing one and two again in the 50m air pistol mixed SH1 ahead of 2019 World Cup medallist Rahul Jakhar who claimed bronze.

"It was great experience to play a match after so long gap," said Narwal. 

"I was eagerly waiting for this opportunity."

Over 200 athletes from 19 states across India participated in the Championship supported by the National Paralympic Committee of India.

World junior record holder Lekhara won eight medals in the women's competition - six golds and two silvers.

"It was a very nice experience to perform after almost one year," said Lekhara.

"I took it as a trial match for the upcoming World Cup and gave my best."

Among her gold medals, Lekhara won the senior and junior R2 10m air rifle standing SH1, as well as the senior and junior R8 50m air rifle 3 position SH1.
