NEW DELHI (Reuters) -India's Olympic javelin gold medallist Neeraj Chopra said it was now "completely out of the question" that rival Arshad Nadeem of Pakistan will attend his meet in Bengaluru next month following Tuesday's deadly Islamist militant attack in Indian Kashmir.

Relations between nuclear-armed neighbours India and Pakistan have plummeted to their lowest level in years after the killing of 26 tourists on Wednesday.
