Bhaker returned to the country on Wednesday after her historic achievement of winning two medals in a single edition of the Olympic Games. She was greeted by hundreds of supporters and her family, who braved a steady drizzle to give her a memorable reception in New Delhi. The Air India flight (AI 142) from Paris to Delhi, which brought Bhaker back, landed at the Indira Gandhi International Airport at around 9:20 am, delayed by one hour.
