Sourav Ganguly News: A threatening letter, written in English, has been sent to Sourav Ganguly, his wife Dona Ganguly, and their entire family, warning that they will be 'finished'. The former India captain has filed a complaint at the Thakurpukur police station, and an investigation is now underway. Police sources say that a phone number mentioned at the bottom of the letter shows up on Truecaller as belonging to a Belgharia resident named Arun Kumar.

What exactly is the complaint? 

On Monday, Sourav Ganguly’s personal secretary, Tania Bhattacharya, filed the official complaint at the Thakurpukur police station. She stated that Sourav, his family, and even his staff have been threatened. In the complaint, she mentioned, “We have received a threatening letter addressed to Sourav Ganguly and his family.” She further wrote, “For the past few months, we have been receiving letters from an unknown person. These letters contained offensive comments about Sourav Ganguly. At first, we didn't take them too seriously. We thought it was probably from someone who dislikes Sourav Ganguly and was just venting their personal frustration.”
