Indian Olympic medalist Manu Bhaker pays tribute to her former coach and longtime mentor, Jaspal Rana, after his death. Multiple outlets report that Bhaker describes the passing as an “irreparable loss” and shares personal posts reflecting on their relationship. She remembers Rana as a friend and coach who understood her and supported her career, including her return to form and her historic performance at the Paris Olympics. Bhaker’s posts include heartfelt messages and, in one report, photographs with Rana. The reports also note Rana’s age and the circumstances of his death. Mint cites the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI), saying Rana, 49, dies on June 12 after a brief illness, with cardiac complications mentioned as part of his condition. NDTV similarly describes Bhaker’s grief following what it characterizes as Rana’s sudden death. Across the coverage, the common theme is Bhaker’s public mourning and her attribution of Rana’s role in her development and success as a top shooter.
