India, May 27 -- Veteran sports administrator and India's first Asian Games shooting gold medallist Randhir Singh passed away on Wednesday at the age of 79 after battling age-related health complications.

He was undergoing treatment for several days before he breathed his last at his residence in Delhi. Singh had recently stepped down as President of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) due to health concerns, despite being elected for a four-year term in 2024.

The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) confirmed his demise, expressing deep grief over the loss of one of the most respected figures in Indian and international shooting sports.
