India's Commonwealth Games gold medal-winning wrestler Rahul Aware, who is currently undergoing training as a Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) at the Maharashtra Police Academy in Nashik, is eager to get on the streets to help the nation fight the Coronavirus pandemic.

"Though I am currently training, I actually want to be out during this time of crisis. I want to be at the forefront of handling this situation, just the way I represented my country and have fought it out on the wrestling mat. This is the perfect time to serve the nation as a police officer. If my seniors permit me, I would like to serve, just like other fellow sportsmen-turned-police officers just like cricketer Joginder Sharma and kabaddi star Ajay Thakur are doing at the moment," Aware, 28, told mid-day on Wednesday.
