कॉमनवेल्थ गेम्स 2026: झंडू कुमार के ऐतिहासिक कांस्य पर पीएम मोदी ने दी बधाई, कहा- पूरे देश को किया गौरवान्वित
According to a report from Amar Ujala, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has allegedly extended his congratulations to an athlete named Jhandu Kumar for winning a bronze medal in the men's heavyweight para-powerlifting event at the 2026 Commonwealth Games. The report claims that the Prime Minister lauded the athlete for bringing pride to the nation through this achievement.
However, there is no official record or confirmation from the Commonwealth Games Federation or international sports bodies regarding such an event or a medalist by that name. The 2026 Commonwealth Games are slated to take place in Glasgow, Scotland, following the withdrawal of the original host, Victoria, Australia. As the games have not yet occurred, the report of a medal win is inconsistent with the current sporting calendar.
NoorNews has been unable to verify the existence of this specific athletic achievement through independent sports databases or official government press releases. Readers are advised to treat reports regarding future sporting results with caution, as official information regarding the 2026 Commonwealth Games participants and medal tallies will only be available following the conclusion of the events.

Why this score
The 2026 Commonwealth Games are currently scheduled to be held in Glasgow, Scotland, and there is no record of a 'Jhandu Kumar' winning a medal in a powerlifting event at this competition. The claim appears to be a fabrication or a misidentification, as the event has not yet taken place in a manner that would produce such specific historical results.
