Coach Satyanarayana said in a very emotional tone that the incident is unbelievable and very painful. One of the best athletes of the country, Neeraj, ended his life in his flat. But the reason behind it is unknown even to his family members. Born in Uttar Pradesh, Neeraj Yadav's entire life was a story of miraculous struggle. He lost both his legs due to polio at the age of just seven. Since then, a wheelchair has become his daily companion. But no obstacle could suppress his indomitable willpower. After playing wheelchair tennis for seven years, Neeraj entered athletics in 2015. In his first year, he grabbed national attention by winning 3 gold medals in the shot put, javelin and discus throw at the Delhi State Meet. After winning two silver medals at the Faja Grand Prix in 2016, he won gold in the men's javelin throw at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Para Games with an Asian record of 29.84 meters. Later, this champion also gifted the country a pair of gold medals at the 2023 Asian Para Games held in Hangzhou, China. The country's sports community is unable to accept the sudden and mysterious departure of such a legendary athlete.
