In the 10m Air Pistol mixed event, the Indian pair of Palak and Shiva Narwal won the bronze medal by finishing third in the play-offs.
The in-form pair of Mehuli and Tushar beat the Hungarian pair of Eztor Mazaros and István Penn 17-13 in a similarly drawn match-up.
The third and fourth places went to shooters from Israel and the Czech Republic, respectively.
This is Tushar’s first gold for India at the senior level, while Mehuli won her maiden gold medal at the 2019 South Asian Games in Kathmandu.
