Three terrorists have been killed. However, room to room search is continuing if there is any terrorist still hiding in the building.
Media reports quoting him said terrorists used grenades and explosives during fighting with commandos.
Dutt said the terrorists would set afire the hotel rooms whenever they came under attack from the commandos.
The commandos are also looking for any surviving guests, who are still locked up in rooms and not coming out for fear of terrorist attack.
The commandos had already secured Oberoi hotel and a Jewish Centre on Friday.
The reports said 160 persons including 16 security personnel were killed in the fighting which ended Saturday morning after 62 hours. Eleven terrorists were also killed and one was injured, officials said.
