Ganguly confirms kidnap threat

Two letters, one as recently as 10 days ago, threatening to kidnap their daughter Sana were received by Sourav Ganguly’s wife, Dona, a senior CID official said on Tuesday. “There were two letters which were sent by post to their residence — the first a month ago and the second 10 days ago,” Additional Director General, CID, Bhupindar Singh said.

Ganguly, during a press conference at Bangalore where he announced his retirement, confirmed that his family had received threats of his daughter being kidnapped. “It is true but it would be better if we don’t discuss it here,” he said.

Singh further added that the Gangulys hadn’t given much importance to the first letter. “The Gangulys didn’t give much of importance to the first letter, but after they received the second letter they were worried and approached the CID.”
