The Story in Brief
Former India cricket captain Sourav Ganguly has filed a police complaint after receiving explicit death threats targeting him and his wife Dona. The letters, sent to his Kolkata office over several months, prompted an investigation by local authorities. One letter, received on Monday, contained explicit threats to kill the couple and harm those close to them, according to a PTI report. Kolkata Police are examining courier records and a mobile number linked to the sender, and have contacted the courier agency for details.
The Indian Opinion
Death threats to sporting icons are a disturbing pattern, but this case against Sourav Ganguly and his wife demands more than just a routine probe. The police must treat such threats with the seriousness they warrant, tracking the sender through courier records and mobile data. Citizens are fed up with hollow assurances; they want swift arrests and concrete action to deter copycats. Will the West Bengal government ensure this investigation is not swept under the carpet like similar threats in the past?
