New Delhi: ‘Pistol King’ Jitu Rai, who is employed with the Indian army, says he feels “shameful” about asking for promotion in his rank after winning gold in Commonwealth and Asian Games. Jitu has been in the form of his life, bagging two gold in three months in two multi-sporting events, but he flatly refused to talk about promotion.
