The 17-year old, who was preparing for the ongoing World Shotgun Championships in Lima, Peru, along with his team-mates, has been withdrawn from the event.
The incident comes just a couple of months after the NRAI handed two shooters one-year and six-month bans respectively for mentally harassing a female shooter even though they were absolved of charges of sexual harassment.
"We received the report and action has been taken against him immediately. The shooter has been made to apologise to the foreign national and to the Indian team for letting them down," NRAI President Raninder Singh told PTI.
Incidentally, the shooter was reprimanded just one and half months ago by the NRAI president.

"The government has been told and I have already spoken to Sports Secretary and SAI, informed them about what action we have taken."
The said shooter had won a medal in an international competition in Europe early this year.
The police also got involved in the case but charges were not framed against the shooter as he is a minor.
