Mohinder Lal was a sports shooter who worked for India’s Border Security Force as a deputy inspector general. In 1980 Lal was selected to compete in the 25 metres rapid pistol event at the Moskva Olympics but he did not start the event. He had better success two years later when he won silver in the 25 metres centre fire pistol pairs at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Brisbane with compatriot Ashok Pandit. In 1984 Lal returned the Olympics where he tied for 34th in the 25 metres rapid pistol. Six years later he finished seventh in the standard pistol at the Asian Games in Beijing. Lal also worked as administrator in the sport and was the chief national pistol coach. In 1983 he was honoured with the Arjuna Award for his contributions to the sport in India.
