Dutt was in City (Kishangarh village), presiding over as the chief guest for 3rd Open Wrestling Competition, He also promised to carry forward his performance for the upcoming 2015 World Wrestling Championship and 2016 Rio Olympics Games. “I am happy after winning the gold medal for my nation after the span of 28 years. It was a hard path and a satisfied end. Now, I am focusing to carry forward the same form to the World Wrestling Championship to be held in Las Vegas (USA) in 2015.
