New Delhi, April 11 (NationPress) The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) community has come together to extend their heartfelt congratulations to wrestler Abhimanyu for securing a gold medal in the 70 kg freestyle event at the Asian Wrestling Championship held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. This remarkable achievement is not only a reflection of his dedication but also serves as a source of motivation for aspiring athletes nationwide.

Head Constable Abhimanyu, a 24-year-old competitor from Hisar, Haryana, representing the CISF Central Wrestling Team, has made the Force and the country proud by winning the gold medal at the Asian Championships, which took place from April 6-12, 2026. He triumphed over top contenders from across Asia to clinch this prestigious title.

"Exhibiting extraordinary talent, resolve, and poise on the mat, Abhimanyu outperformed his rivals to achieve this outstanding victory. Currently positioned as World No. 3, he has continually showcased his prowess on the global platform. His previous victories include a gold medal at the Senior National Wrestling Championship 2025, further emphasizing his dominance in the sport," stated the CISF in a Saturday announcement.

Since joining the CISF in 2022, Abhimanyu's success exemplifies the high standards of training, discipline, and dedication maintained by CISF athletes.

Just moments before Abhimanyu's gold medal win, World U-23 champion Sujeet also claimed a contrasting victory, securing gold in the men's freestyle final, contributing to India's tally of two gold medals on the penultimate day of the competition in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

Sujeet, who has remained unbeaten this year, completely dominated the men’s 65kg freestyle final against Umidjon Jalolov of Uzbekistan, winning with an 8-1 scoreline. This victory marks him as the first Indian since Bajrang Punia in 2019 to win gold in this weight category at the Asian Championships.

Although Sandeep Mann had the opportunity to secure a hat-trick of golds for India, he narrowly lost 1-2 in a tightly contested final of the men’s 79kg category.

Earlier, Ankush claimed the men’s 57kg freestyle bronze by defeating Fuga Sasaki of Japan 8-2, elevating India’s overall medal tally to two golds, four silvers, and eight bronzes.

As the final day of competition approaches, India has a chance to secure two more gold medals, with Paris Olympics bronze medallist Aman (men’s 61kg freestyle) and Mukul Dahiya (men’s 86kg freestyle) having made it to the finals.

Aman, who previously won a bronze in Paris in the 57kg category and secured gold in the Asian Championships two years ago, is competing in a higher weight category this time in Bishkek. In a thrilling semi-final, Aman showcased his resilience, edging out Ahmad Mohammadnezhadjavan of Iran with an 11-9 victory.

He will face North Korea’s Kwang M Kim, who triumphed over Gulomjon Abdullaev of Uzbekistan in his semi-final match.

In the 86kg category, Mukul Dahiya initially conceded six points in his semi-final against Bolat Sakayev of Kazakhstan but rallied back with two crucial takedowns, ultimately winning 12-6 to secure a spot in the final where he will compete against Kamran Ghasempour of Iran for the gold medal.

Meanwhile, Dinesh is set to vie for the bronze medal in the men’s 125kg freestyle category after a semi-final loss to Shamil Sharipov of Bahrain.
