Why It Matters
Sourav Ganguly, a prominent figure in Indian cricket, has been receiving threatening letters.
Sourav Ganguly, the former India captain and current president of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB), has filed a police complaint after receiving threatening letters, including one that allegedly threatened to kill him and his wife, Dona Ganguly.
According to a PTI report, Ganguly's office received two letters on Monday, prompting him to file a written complaint at Thakurpukur Police Station in south Kolkata. The letters had been arriving for around six months but were initially not taken seriously until the latest threats.
The police have begun an investigation, examining the letters, their source, and the courier trail to identify the person responsible. Preliminary findings suggest the letters might have been sent through a courier service by someone from Belgharia in North 24 Parganas district.
Investigators are also exploring the motive behind the threats and checking if all letters were sent by the same person. The police are in contact with the courier agency to gather more details.
"We are taking the complaint seriously and have begun an investigation. We are examining the letters, their source, and the courier trail to identify the person responsible," said a senior police officer.
The police are tracking the SIM card allegedly used by the sender and have identified one mobile number, which they are trying to locate.
