India wins three bronze medals at Tent Pegging World Cup; Haryana Police personnel part of team

Panchkula, Nov 15 (UNI) India won three bronze medals at the fifth International Tent Pegging Federation (ITPF) World Cup in Aqaba, Jordan, with two Haryana Police personnel participating, one as a player and the other as the national coach, in the equestrian cavalry sport, officials said on Sunday.
The championship, held from November 11 to 14, featured teams from 10 countries, including India, Pakistan, Jordan, Egypt, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sudan and Yemen.
Haryana Police Assistant Sub-Inspector Jitendra Kumar represented India in the six-member squad, while Head Constable Suresh Kumar served as the national coach.
Dinesh Karlekar of the Assam Rifles secured two bronze medals in individual events, while ITBP's Amit Chhetri was part of the bronze-medal-winning team, according to a Haryana Police statement.
The Indian contingent comprised personnel from the Army, the Assam Rifles, the Indo-Tibetan Border Police, and the Haryana Police. The squad was led by captain Dhanraj.
Congratulating the players and coach, Haryana Director General of Police Ajay Singhal said their performance reflected the discipline, dedication and sporting abilities of personnel serving in the security forces.
"Representing the country at the international level is a matter of great pride and honour. The Indian players have brought recognition to the country through their hard work, discipline and sporting excellence," Singhal said.
He described Jitendra Kumar's selection for the national squad and Suresh Kumar's role as coach as significant achievements for Haryana Police.
The DGP said the department would continue to encourage sporting talent among its personnel and provide opportunities to compete at national and international levels.
Commandant Bharati Dabas of the 4th Haryana Armed Police said the players underwent specialised training at Bhondsi ahead of the championship.
She said that training facilities, equipment, and logistical support were provided to improve the players' riding skills, technical precision, and competitive preparedness.
The Indian team's three-medal haul reflected the players' sustained training and preparation, she added.
