He had already secured a spot in the Paris Paralympics to be held later this year. A record gold at the Asian Para Games in Hangzhou last October had helped Sidhartha seal the Paralympics spot.

The native of Thiruvananthapuram is the only Keralite shooter to have earned qualification to the Paralympics.
