The Indian contingent added one more gold and two bronze medals to their tally on the fifth day of the 5th Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games here at Ashgabat in Turkmenistan last evening.
Ajay Kumar Saroj clinched the gold in men's 1500m race after clocking in at three minute and 48.67 seconds.
Meanwhile, Neha Solanki and Jyoti picked a bronze in +87kg category and -87kg category respectively of the women's kurash event.
