Beijing Olympic Games gold medallist, Abhinav Bindra, has offered help to the National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) in the wake of incidents involving young shooters committing suicide.

A woman rifle shooter, 28, allegedly committed suicide by hanging in a women's hostel at Bally, Howrah on December 15. This is the fourth case of death by suicide in the last four months in the shooting fraternity.

In a letter addressed to NRAI president, Raninder Singh, Bindra has said: "I wish to offer the time and energy of my team [at the Abhinav Bindra Foundation ] to help the athletes, coaches, administrators, parents, and others in the sporting ecosystem in need. I hope you will accept my proposal and allow us to conduct a few virtual sessions."
