Deepak Punia could do nothing against the solid defence of Kazakhstan's Azmat Dauletbekov and settled for a silver medal while Viky Chahar grabbed a bronze in the 92kg competition on the concluding day of the Asian Championship in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia on Sunday.

However, Dauletbekov did not let the Indian play his aggressive game, foiling a few of his attacks with remarkable ease.
