SouravGanguly files a lawsuit of ₹50 crore against UttamSaha.

Lionel Messi’s Kolkata visit has become an endless, controversial affair, sparking several debates and discussions about mismanagement and security issues. Now, former India cricket captain SouravGanguly has filed a defamation lawsuit, seeking ₹50 crore in damages, against UttamSaha, president of the Argentina Fan Club in Kolkata. He has initiated legal proceedings against Saha after the latter made allegations linking Ganguly to the Salt Lake Stadium visit. The complaint filed at Lalbazar alleges that Saha’s allegations have harmed Ganguly’s reputation without any factual basis.

UttamSaha claimed Ganguly played a role in Messi’s Kolkata visit.

Saha claimed that Ganguly played a role in Messi’s visit and was the middleman between the organiser and the Argentine. Reacting to this, Ganguly’s legal team has now sent a notice to Saha, asking him for a retraction and damages. He said in his complaint, as per India Today, “Serious allegations are being made publicly without any factual basis.”

SouravGanguly was present at the stadium during Messi’s visit. But he was there in a different section of the stadium as utter chaos broke out. The former cricketer also left the stadium as all hell broke loose, looking disappointed.
