The men's trap shooting, men's 3,000 m steeple chase, and men's shot put events all saw Indian athletes emerge victorious.
In addition to the gold medals, Indian athletes also earned seven silver medals and five bronze medals.
In the 100 m hurdles event, Jyothi Yarraji initially claimed the bronze medal. However, her position was later upgraded to silver as Wu Yanni was disqualified due to a false start.
