Upon arriving at Indira Gandhi International Airport here in New Delhi, Neeraj was swamped by supporters and they played dhols to give a thunderous response to the 23-year-old’s historic feat back in Tokyo.
Neeraj somehow made his way from the crowd and he quickly entered his car to make his way out of the airport.
This year the Games were held with COVID-19 induced restrictions and all events were held behind closed doors.
