# Death threats for Sourav Ganguly and wife, police probe launched 2026-08-10T19:42:20+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly and his wife Dona Ganguly have received death threats, prompting a police investigation. Ganguly's private secretary filed a complaint with the Thakurpukur police station on Monday, stating that threatening letters have arrived over the past six months, but were initially dismissed as fan mail. Recent letters, however, contained explicit threats to the couple's lives. Police say the letters were sent by courier to the Ganguly residence, with the sender's name listed as 'Arun Kumar' of Belgharia. Investigators have traced a phone number from the letter, and a 'Truecaller' search returned the same name. West Bengal Police are now looking into whether the real Arun Kumar sent the letters or if someone is using his identity to target the former BCCI president. ## Coverage - sports.ndtv.com - newindianexpress.com Tags: death threats, Dona Ganguly, police probe, security, Sourav Ganguly, West Bengal Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/sourav-ganguly-wife-dona-get-death-threats-police-probe/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
