Mohd Yasser (born 24 December 1993) is an Indian track and field para-athlete who competes in the Mens's Shotput F46. When Yasser was 8 years old, he had an accident with an agricultural machine where he lost his arm. He got into sports just to improve his physical fitness. He represented India at the 2018 Asian Para Games in Jakarta, Indonesia where he won a Bronze medal.[1] At World Para Athletics' 2021 Dubai Grand Prix, Yasser won with a gold medal with a performance of 14.58m.[citation needed]
Yasser expressed his disappointment for not receiving the promised incentive of INR 50 Lakhs from the government in 2018.[2] The same was eventually given in 2020.[3]
