Bias & framing notes
Both sources are India-focused outlets covering the story from an Indian sporting perspective, emphasizing India's medal count and national pride. The NDTV source is a live blog focused on the broader final-day medal chase, while the Indian Express zeroes in on Choudhary's win and her family's reaction. Neither source offers an international or neutral perspective on the Games. Details about the bout itself — scorecards, margin of victory — are absent from both reports.
