On 1 March 2024, the Court of Arbitration of Sport (CAS) Anti-Doping Division found Bhagat in breach of the BWF anti-doping regulations for committing three whereabouts failures within 12 months.

Bhagat, an SL3 athlete, appealed this decision to the CAS Appeals Division.

On 29 July 2024, the CAS Appeals Division dismissed Bhagat's appeal and confirmed the CAS Anti-Doping Division decision of 1 March 2024.

Bhagat is a four-time World Champion in men's singles and a two-time World Champion in men's doubles. He won his first World Championship title in 2013 when he became the men's doubles champion. He won his first singles title two years later.

He won the gold medal at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, beating Great Britain's Daniel Bethell in the final. He most recently became the 2024 World Champion in February, defeating Bethell again in the final.
