Under 'Sashakti' initiative, more than 5,000 girl students from five government schools were given self-defence training for a week in Kumar's village Najafgarh, in outer Delhi.
During an event in Najafgarh at the concluding day, the girls demonstrated the skills they acquired during the programme in the presence of Kumar, Kabaddi player Suman Lata, joint commissioner of police (Southwest) Satish Golcha and other senior police officials.
The girls were handed over a special 'Sashakti Kit' comprising a cap, whistle and pepper spray, etc.
"You should always keep the pepper spray in an empty pocket. In case of an untoward incident, it shouldn't happen that you are not able to take it out in time," said the trainer.
