Claim on social media regarding Manu's pistol
Apart from Manu's game, another thing which has been in the news recently is the price of his pistol. Social media and some reports claimed that the price of Manu's pistol was more than Rs 1 crore. After these rumors spread, there was a lot of discussion among sports lovers. Seeing the increasing rumors on this topic, Manu Bhakar spoke openly about this in an interview. He said very simply that his pistols are not worth crores but lakhs.
Manu Bhakar told the price of his pistol
Manu Bhaker laughingly said, “Crore? No, it is a one-time investment which costs between Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 1.85 lakh. The price depends on many factors, such as the model of the pistol, whether it is new or old, whether it is customized. ” Or not.” Manu Bhakar also said that when players get international recognition, companies often give them free pistols. Putting an end to these rumours, he said that the pistol is definitely an important equipment, but the claim that its price is in crores is completely wrong.
