Boxer Manoj Kumar has received the prestigious Arjuna Award. The 2010 Commonwealth Games gold-medalist was given the award by Sports Minister Sarbananda Sonowal at a function in New Delhi yesterday. Manoj was, earlier, denied the award by the Kapil Dev-led selection committee, after which he had approached the Sports Ministry. After being snubbed for a second time in the review meeting, Manoj took the legal route and filed a case in the Delhi High Court. He won the case which led to the Ministry accepting his nomination for the award.
