Jajpu25/4/17; Dutee Chand has made India proud again as the athlete leading the Indian contingent at the three leg Asian Grand Prix 2017 in China grabbed a bronze in the 100m sprint clocking 11.59 seconds.

Just after Dutee brought Odisha fame with her achievement once again on Monday, her family members found her car burnt on Tuesday morning.
Dutee had won the car after emerging the individual champion in U-19 category winning three gold medals in 100 m, 200 m, 400 m sprints in the 58th National Schools Athletics Meet at Saefai Stadium, Uttar Pradesh in February 2013.

While her father has registered an FIR in this regard, Dutee has expressed sadness to hear the news.
