This achievement makes her the first Indian woman to win an Olympic shooting medal, ending a 12-year drought for India in this discipline.
Bhaker finished with a score of 221.7 in the final, narrowly missing silver by just 0.1 points.
The gold medal was claimed by South Korea’s Jin Ye Oh, who set a new Olympic record.
Meanwhile, India’s Arjun Babuta and Ramita Jindal also raised medal hopes by qualifying for the Men’s and Women’s 10m Air Rifle finals.
